ProHealth has closed the inpatient psychiatric unit at ProHealth Waukesha (Wis.) Memorial Hospital, NBC affiliate TMJ4 reported April 8.
The unit closed April 7, the health system told the outlet. A low patient census made it difficult to maintain the unit, according to the report. Waukesha Memorial will continue to admit patients who need inpatient psychiatric care in other units, the system said.
Waukesha County Mental Health Center continues to provide inpatient psychiatric services in the area, WSJ4 reported, operating a 16-bed inpatient unit.
