Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services

The organization's second largest service program is its Clinic Network. The Clinic Network offers ambulatory outpatient care at nineteen locations throughout Western and Northern Michigan. For people who do not require the structured environment of the inpatient or residential care settings, outpatient services are at the center of the behavioral health continuum. Nearly 75% of all persons who come to Pine Rest are served through outpatient services. Our clinicians provide a broad spectrum of intervention across the age continuum in convenient, non-restrictive environments. In addition to traditional outpatient care, Pine Rest provides a variety of specialty services including telemedicine, assessment through the Psychological Consultation Center, intensive outpatient and residential substance abuse/addictions services, and court-related services and assessments.

The Pine Rest Residential Division offers longer term psychiatric services to clients with mental health needs in a residential setting. These programs include both locked and unlocked settings. These services and facilities are licensed and accredited by the State of Michigan as well as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Adult Residential services had 18,804 patient days of care in fiscal year 2024.

The organization's third largest program is its psychiatric residency program, conducted in partnership with Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. Pine Rest is devoted to training the psychiatrists of tomorrow by fostering an environment of excellence through our dedication to clinical best practices, patient safety and quality of care, scholarly activities, research, physician wellness as well as diversity and inclusion. Pine Rest instituted its general psychiatry residency program in July 2014. Since that time, we have inaugurated specialty fellowships in Child & Adolescent, Geriatric, Forensic and Addiction. We now train over fifty residents and fellows through five ACGME-accredited programs. Our residents complete rotations under the supervision of attending physicians in a broad array of hospital, residential, and outpatient settings including emergency psychiatry, substance abuse, community mental health, child and adolescent inpatient, adult inpatient, older adult inpatient, primary care, neurology, and outpatient clinic services. Our residents engage in rigorous post-graduate education and research. The Residency Outpatient Clinic conducts 12,000 visits annually, expanding access to quality psychiatry. The goal of this training program is to assure that the State of Michigan has the benefit of highly trained psychiatrists now and in the future.

Homes for the Developmentally Disabled serves adults with developmental disabilities in exceptional residential settings with multiple opportunities for engaging in on-site and community activities that match abilities. Homes for the Developmentally Disabled services program had 19,076 patient days of care in fiscal year 2024.
