About JC Blair Memorial Hospital
Penn Highlands Huntingdon, formerly J C Blair Memorial Hospital, is a community hospital in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, that provides inpatient and outpatient behavioral health services for adults and older adults. The facility’s Behavioral Health Inpatient Adult Unit delivers psychiatric care, psychotherapy, and medication management within a hospital based setting.
Penn Highlands Huntingdon combines evidence based mental health treatment with the resources of a full service medical campus to support comprehensive patient care.
Inpatient Behavioral Health Care for Adults
The Behavioral Health Inpatient Adult Unit at Penn Highlands Huntingdon serves adults and geriatric patients who require hospital level psychiatric care. The unit is part of the Penn Highlands Healthcare system, which became affiliated with the hospital in 2019 and expanded access to behavioral health services.
I like that you can receive psychiatric evaluations, medication management and individual and family therapy in your treatment program. This helps to address mental health crises and stabilize symptoms. The inpatient setting provides 24 hour supervision and structured support, helping patients manage acute episodes in a safe environment before transitioning to outpatient or community based care.
Psychotherapy and Outpatient Behavioral Health Services
Penn Highlands Huntingdon offers outpatient psychotherapy services, including cognitive behavioral therapy, individual counseling, family therapy, and group therapy for continued mental health support. I like that they also provide suicide risk assessment and prevention services as part of its coordinated behavioral health care system.
Location, Access, and Insurance
Penn Highlands Huntingdon operates 24 hours a day. Both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health services are available onsite. The hospital is part of the larger Penn Highlands Healthcare network, which includes multiple locations throughout the region.
The facility accepts many major insurance plans, including Aetna, Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid related plans and TRICARE, as well as self pay options.
