Child Psychiatry Consults Available in MHC Emergency Departments

In collaboration with Michigan Medicine, Munson Healthcare now offers child psychiatry consultations at all 8 MHC emergency departments through the MC3 Program.

For patients under 21 years of age, MC3 psychiatrists are available by phone to support MHC ED providers with:

• Diagnostic evaluations
• Appropriate behavioral interventions
• Medication recommendations
• Suicide risk assessments and safety planning
• Communication strategies
• Community resources

How It Works

• ED provider requests a consult using a secure online form.
• MC3 psychiatrist calls the treating ED provider.
• A Behavioral Health Consultant (BHC) sends a summary of care recommendations and offers follow-up support.
  Note, MC3 psychiatrists will not assume care or follow the patient.

Consults are returned Monday – Friday, 9 am – 5 pm. Requests made after 4 pm or on weekends/holidays are addressed the next business day.

MC3 is a free service funded by MDHHS. To learn more about MC3, click here or read the flyer.
