Outpatient Diagnostic Service
The Outpatient Diagnostic Service is a unique treatment program at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center’s Mental Health Center offering intensive observation and treatment in a secure setting to quickly clarify diagnostic questions.

The average stay in the outpatient diagnostic program is 23 hours or less.
