One in five people will have a diagnosable mental health illness in their lifetime. The fastest growing group for suicide is the middle school child. During the next several years the World Health Organization predicts that depression will be second in illnesses having a negative economic impact in the world. Mental health issues are frequently unaddressed because of a lack of knowledge about mental illness and difficulty reaching treatment. This is particularly devastating when the treatment success rate for most mental illness is anywhere from 75% to 85%. Only 20% of people that need to be in treatment are currently in treatment. When surveyed as to why they are not, the most frequently given answer is the lack of available good mental health care.

Oasis is a mental health center -  designed to provide urgent psychiatric care to our communities . Our system allows easy access for people with mental health issues to be seen within a 24-hour period by staff trained in psychiatry. If medication is needed, it is prescribed during that appointment. The mental health center will be open 5 pm to 12 midnight, 7 days a week, including holidays, and from 9 am to 5 pm on weekdays for follow-up therapy and urgent therapy visits.

Patients seen at Oasis that are currently in treatment with a provider will be referred back to their provider for further care. Patients that need further treatment but are waiting to get in to see a provider through their insurance will continue to be seen at Oasis for follow-up care three times a week for two weeks for adults and up to four times a week for two weeks for adolescents.
