The level of communication was truly remarkable. I never had to question how my son was doing or what was going on during his time at PrairieCare. No matter what was happening – we knew about it, and that makes all the difference!

Mobile Admissions Process (MAP)
Providing No-Cost Mental Health Assessments On Site or Via Telehealth
If you believe your patient needs admission to a psychiatric hospital, partial hospital setting, or another level of care, contact PrairieCare’s Mobile Admissions team. A member of the team will arrive on site at your location or virtually within two hours to provide an assessment and facilitate admission to the right program.
Here’s How It Works:
Make a Call: Hospital staff calls the Mobile Admissions team at 952-826-8424 when a patient in care is experiencing mental health concerns.
Assessment Occurs: Within two hours, a member of our Mobile Admissions team arrives at your location (within 30 miles of PrairieCare’s hospital) or is available via telehealth to complete a mental health evaluation with the patient. Assessors are on call, in person, Monday–Friday, 8:00 am–4:00 pm, or telehealth, seven days a week, 8:00 am–4:00 pm.
Treatment Is Initiated: The Mobile Admissions team determines the best level of care and starts the admissions process as needed.
The Mental Health Collaboration Hub (MHCH)
MHCH is a secure portal that helps connect youth and families in psychiatric or behavioral health boarding situations, such as an emergency department or medical unit, to safe and healing treatment. Users can connect with appropriate living and mental health treatment settings based on the unique needs of the patient. Join the community of professionals helping youth get the care they need and deserve.
The Psychiatric Assistance Line (PAL)
PAL is a free service that connects healthcare professionals with a Board Certified Child and Adolescent psychiatrist regarding a patient. During the work week, professionals can simply call 855-431-6468 to access instant mental health triage or referral support.
