Lakeview Behavioral Health & Riverwoods Behavioral Health are excited to announce an extension and expansion of their partnership with Piedmont Healthcare in providing psychiatric assessment services across the greater Atlanta area and Athens.

The new agreement adds Piedmont Athens as a supported assessment location. The mobile assessment team supporting Piedmont hospitals is comprised of over 40 talented psychiatric professionals offering 24 / 7 services to those in need of immediate assessment for psychiatric services and placement into a treatment program appropriate to their care, whether that be on an inpatient or outpatient basis.

“We see ourselves as a community partner, assessing over 5,000 men, women and children each year. Piedmont Healthcare is a cornerstone in healthcare and we are proud to work with them. Our emphasis on hiring the best staff and continuously growing our service offerings to support our community are the things that inspire us each and every day. Piedmont is the kind of partner that positively challenges us and supports us to do more to make psychiatric treatment available to those in need,” said Group Medical Director Dr. Thomas Johns.
