The McNew Medical Center is not an
emergency facility and we are unable to receive walk-in patients. If you are
experiencing a medical or mental health crisis, please call 911.
Patients are admitted to the inpatient unit upon
referral from a hospital’s emergency department when a patient has presented
voluntarily or on an emergency petition, has received an emergency psychiatric
assessment, and has met criteria for admission.
We understand how important immediate care is during a mental health
crisis. Emergency psychiatric services are provided on a 24-hour basis in our
Emergency Department at Anne Arundel Medical Center.
