4C Health marks 4 years of community crisis receiving and stabilization with Psychiatric Urgent Care
Last Updated on April 2, 2025 by Cass County Communication Network
4C Health proudly marks four years of success in providing crisis stabilization through its Psychiatric Urgent Care (PUC), which first opened in February 2021. This milestone underscores the organization’s ongoing commitment to supporting individuals in crisis within rural communities by offering immediate, short-term care and stabilization services.
Since its inception, 4C Health’s Psychiatric Urgent Care has provided care to 795 individuals, delivering critical intervention and support when they needed it most. Additionally, the PUC has saved an estimated $3.3 million in inpatient stay costs, offering a cost-effective alternative to hospitalization while ensuring individuals receive the crisis care they need.
Located in Peru, Indiana, the 4C Health Psychiatric Urgent Care is a designated short-term facility designed to support individuals experiencing an emergency mental health crisis. The unit offers a safe and supportive environment, where individuals can receive care and observation for anywhere from a few hours up to 23 hours. This essential service helps bridge critical gaps in crisis support across 4C Health’s seven-county designated area and surrounding rural communities.
Dan Carey, Vice President of Psychiatric Hospital Services with 4C Health, states, “We are even more excited about the future. 4C Health is part of a state demonstration focused on developing Certified Community Mental Health Centers and our crisis stabilization services are just a piece of that . At 4C Health, good is never good enough and that is why we continually seek to improve. We want our best for you and that means giving you our best services when you need them. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.”
Comprehensive 24/7 Crisis Care
4C Health’s multidisciplinary team includes Psychiatrists, Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses (RNs), Pharmacists, Therapists, Skills Trainers, and Mental Health Technicians, all specially trained to provide compassionate crisis care. At 4C Health, every individual is treated with dignity and respect as they recover and transition back into the community.
Following a short-term stay at Psychiatric Urgent Care, individuals have access to a variety of outpatient treatment options to support continued recovery and long-term mental well-being.
