Renown Crisis Care Center Marks One Year of Impact Providing Crisis and Behavioral Health Services
The Renown Crisis Care Center is marking one year of providing short-term behavioral health crisis intervention and stabilization for people experiencing mental health emergencies, while serving as a resource for healthcare professionals and first responders.
Access to timely behavioral health services remains an urgent need across Nevada. Since opening Nov. 11, 2025, Renown Crisis Care Center has served an average of 12-14 patients each day, for an average of nearly 5,000 patients in its first year. Over half of patients avoided hospitalization, demonstrating the role crisis stabilization services can play in connecting people with appropriate care.
“As the largest not-for-profit health system in northern Nevada, Renown is committed to investing in the health of our community by identifying gaps in care and building the services needed to address them. Mental health is one of those areas, and it was once again identified as a need in Renown’s 2027-2029 Community Health Needs Assessment,” said Brian Erling, MD, MBA, Renown Health President and CEO. “When someone is experiencing a mental health emergency, they need a safe place to turn and a team ready to care for them. This investment helps ensure more people can get the right care at the right time, while strengthening behavioral health services for families across northern Nevada.”
