Mental Health Services 

New services opening in 2025 to meet the community need. 

Mental health conditions are taking a toll on individuals and families right here in our community. But we are not alone. We face the same challenges as other providers throughout the state and nation. Mental health resources are strained, and lack of access to mental health care has reached a crisis level.

From adolescents to older adults, Ridgeview treated approximately 6,500 patients with mental health encounters in 2022. That is an average of 17 patients a day, who came to Ridgeview through our Emergency Departments, clinics and hospital campuses.

To meet the increasing needs of our community, Ridgeview is partnering with Allina Health to build a new multifaceted Mental Health Services program. With a planned opening of early 2025, the new Mental Health Services program will be located at Two Twelve Medical Center in Chaska and will include:

Outpatient Clinic

Outpatient care focusing on adult patients who are experiencing severe and persistent mental illness diagnoses. Services will include psychiatric care management, individual and group therapy, complex medication management and more.

Adult Day Treatment/Intensive Outpatient Care

Serves patients with recurring mental health conditions or patients stepping down from partial hospitalization. Provides psychotherapy groups, education and activity groups.

Partial Hospitalization

Highest level of outpatient services that includes psychotherapy groups, education groups, activity groups, and nursing and psychiatric care. Acts as an alternative to hospitalization.

Specialized crisis management and telepsychiatry consultation will continue to be available at Ridgeview’s four Emergency Departments in Arlington, Chaska, Le Sueur and Waconia.
