CHA provides expert hospital care for adults with serious or acute mental health needs. We have adult units at CHA Cambridge Hospital and CHA Everett Hospital, with an additional Geriatric Psychiatry Unit at Everett Hospital.
Cambridge Hospital (Cahill 3 and Cahill 4) and Everett Hospital (West 2).
Adults in crisis will find safe, secure and compassionate care - in close coordination with the CHA Emergency Department and outpatient programs. Our goal is to help patients improve so they can rejoin their families, home, work, school and other relationships in a positive way.

All inpatient psychiatry admissions are coordinated through the CHA Transfer Center: 617-665-1372
Our Care Team
Our hospital caregivers have a variety of skills to give patients what they need. Teams are led by board-certified psychiatrists and our caring nursing staff. Other team members include psychologists, mental health clinicians, social workers, activity therapists and pharmacists.
Treatment Plan
During a hospital stay, we work to stabilize, diagnose and develop a treatment plan. This is a collaborative process that may include family members.
Aftercare Planning and Support
Our care model is short term, intensive treatment. So one of the key tasks of the hospital team is to plan for ongoing care once a patient leaves the hospital. This ensures that every patient gets appropriate outpatient treatment, the right care in the right setting, and support to meet their ongoing needs.
Once patients leave the hospital, CHA works to provide additional support, as needed. Psychiatry care may continue at a CHA primary care center or through CHA’s mid-level programs (Psychiatric Transition Service, Intensive Outpatient Program, Partial Hospital Program).
