Job Description

Responsibilities

It takes passion and dedication to meet the behavioral health needs of our community .

Through a unique collaboration between Universal Health Services and Providence Health Services, Inland Northwest Behavioral Health became the first free-standing mental health hospital in the city of Spokane, Washington.

The 100 bed hospital, located near the Sacred Heart Medical Campus, nestled into the hillside, consolidating the public areas and service spaces on the first floor. The facility includes a dining room, a gym, and each of the four units have 2 activity rooms—one for louder activities, such as music and movies, and another for quiet activities. There are also two outdoor courtyards, as well as offices and administrative spaces. The x-shaped design separates the 100 patient beds into four 25 bed wings and centralizes staff for security and operational efficiencies. Three of the inpatient units are designated for adults (18+) and the fourth unit is specifically designed for adolescents ages 13-17. It is the hospital’s aim to provide a “home-like environment” to promote a holistic, patient centered approach to mental health. Through the integration of architecture, artwork, and landscaping, the facility overcomes the stigma associated with the care provided within, and provides a safe, encouraging, and aesthetically pleasing place where people can heal.
