Those experiencing a behavioral health crisis, such as thoughts of harm to self or others, should call 911 immediately or visit the Emergency Department for evaluation.
We’re here to help you live your healthiest life and find your path to better mental health.
Quality Behavioral Health, Close to Home
Pet Therapy Services
Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital has established a pet therapy program for patients and staff throughout the facility. Cassie, a 19-month-old Red Merle Australian Shepherd, and Freedom, an 8-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever, and Muse, a 10 1/2 month old Sheltie, are the new caring canines offering support and comfort to patients and staff on a regular basis.
Cassie, Freedom and Muse have all gone through extensive training to obtain the necessary credentials to be able to provide services at our facility. To even be considered, there are certain requirements that must be met related to the dog’s age, temperament, health, training and certifications. The dogs' handlers must keep up with certifications and evaluations on a regular basis and need to continually meet standards and regulations for the service dog industry.
“When Freedom is around, patients on our behavioral health units feel a sense of comfort and unconditional love. She has an uncanny ability to ‘read’ the situation and adapt to our patients’ needs,” said Dr. Manoj Chandran, Medical Director of the Behavioral Health Unit.
