HOSPITALS IN THE COMBINED DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY AT ZUCKER HILLSIDE
Zucker Hillside Hospital is Northwell's renowned 236-bed behavioral health facility, known for its pioneering clinical, teaching and research programs. Over the past 30 years, it has been the site of multiple National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) research centers focused on the treatment of schizophrenia, including a Clinical Research Center, Intervention Research Center and a Center for Intervention Development and Applied Research. These federally supported centers have provided Zucker Hillside with national and international recognition for its groundbreaking work in the diagnosis and treatment of serious mental illness. In addition, ZHH has outstanding health professions training programs with a large residency in general adult psychiatry, fellowships in child and adolescent, consultation-liaison (CL), geriatric, and addiction psychiatry: externship, internship and post-doctoral fellowships in psychology; and social work, and nursing and nurse practitioner programs.
Inpatient services include units dedicated to specific populations, including adolescent, college-aged, adult, geriatric, and women's (perinatal psychiatry) units. Treatment specialties include early phase treatment, depression, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, peripartum mood and anxiety disorders, bipolar, personality disorders, medical/neurological illnesses with psychiatric symptoms, adolescent, and geriatric psychiatry including Alzheimer's disease and related conditions. Zucker Hillside's beautiful 22-bed inpatient women's unit is the first in New York state and one of only a few in the U.S. to specialize in treating women with perinatal psychiatric illness.
Outpatient programs serve all ages and encompass the full continuum of care. These services include general adult outpatient clinics and specialized centers for bipolar, peripartum depression, OCD, early onset psychosis, college-aged patients, clozapine, long-acting injectables, children and adolescents, adolescent eating disorders, and geriatric patients. In addition, ZHH offers partial hospital treatment programs, and a full range of psychiatric rehabilitation services. Programs for alcohol and chemical dependency are available both on our main campus and in numerous community-based sites. ZHH has recently established a Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) and an Interventional Psychiatry center offering ketamine, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and operates the second largest ECT program in the US. The goal at Zucker Hillside is to promote wellness and to reintegrate patients back into the community to work, attend school, socialize and live independently.
