Ninety-six years ago, 14 deacons from local Reformed
and Christian Reformed Churches gathered in Paterson, NJ to discuss
the state of treatment for the mentally ill. The men were disheartened
by the appalling conditions of asylums and other facilities that housed
such individuals. The group left the meeting with a commitment to
build a hospital that would provide physical, mental, and spiritual
care for the mentally ill. From one small 17-bed psychiatric hospital
in a renovated farmhouse on 10 acres, Christian Health Care Center
(CHCC) has today evolved to include a broad spectrum of mental-health
and elder-care services with 12 expansive buildings on 78 acres. Today,
CHCC offers the following mental-health services:
Ramapo
Ridge Psychiatric Hospital provides a full range of treatment
programs for adults and geriatric patients. Christian Health Care Counseling Center offers professional licensed staff to provide counseling to families and individuals of all ages. Pathways is a partial-hospitalization program treating the needs of adults who experience both a developmental disability and a co-existing psychiatric disorder.
