New Flyer on Psychiatry and Autism Center Locations and Services, Plus Other Mental Health Resources for Healthcare Providers
May 3, 2023
Flyer: Psychiatry and Autism Center services by location
Seattle Children’s provides a wide range of psychiatry and behavioral health services for youth at the main hospital campus, North Clinic in Everett, South Clinic in Federal Way, Seattle Children’s Magnuson and via telehealth.
To help healthcare providers understand at a glance what services are available where, we have created an Autism Center and Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine Service Locations flyer.
Questions about referring your patient? Seattle Children’s Psychiatry triage team is available to answer providers’ questions about referrals, including the status of a referral that has already been submitted, our services that are currently available and wait times for our services and locations. Contact our PBM Referral Intake Team at 206-987-2164, option 2, or email [email protected]. Our goal is to help you find the appropriate care for your patient, either at Seattle Children’s or elsewhere.
