Stewart and Lynda Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital

Passion and Compassion for Patients of Any Age

From autism in children to Alzheimer’s disease among the elderly, the Stewart and Lynda Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital is treating patients with a wide array of care — and looking for answers to prevent others from suffering. The hospital was ranked ninth in the nation in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hospitals 2013-14 Honor Roll.

Various types of treatment are available, depending on the patient’s age. The child and adolescent care program helps children with autism, schizophrenia and eating disorders. The adult inpatient care program provides services in the hospital for the diagnosis and treatment of major psychiatric illnesses. And the geriatric program offers comprehensive care for older adults with psychiatric illnesses, in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Gifts to the Stewart and Lynda Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital are vital to underwriting pilot programs, research seed grants, research endowments and equipment and laboratories. They also support scholarships and fellowships, which are crucial to attracting, training and mentoring top graduate students and doctoral candidates. And with the help of private resources, the most recent research advances can move quickly from the laboratory to direct patient care.

“In our work, the connection between mind and body is of the utmost importance, and the new Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital will reflect our commitment to understanding that connection,” says the hospital’s medical director, Thomas B. Strouse. “With private patient rooms, an outdoor terrace for therapeutic interaction, age-specific care divisions and the latest medical technology, the hospital provides an ideal environment for patients to heal and for researchers to uncover new solutions.”
