Harrisburg Medical Center

In support of its mission, the hospital provides care to patients at less than its established charges for patients that meet the hospital's financial assistance criteria. Because the hospital does not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify for financial assistance, they are not reported in net patient service revenue. Charges excluded from revenue under the hospital's financial assistance policy (fap) were approximately $1,630,000 for fiscal year 2022. In addition, the hospital provides services to other medically indigent patients under certain government-reimbursed public aid programs. Such programs pay providers amounts which are less than established charges for the services provided to the recipients and the payments are less than the cost of rendering care.

Mulberry Center at Harrisburg offers patient-centered psychiatric care in an environment where comprehensive Medical care is available. Through interactive experiences, patients learn to better understand their symptoms and learn how to manage them after discharge. The inpatient unit is divided into two wings. One is a general adult unit, housing individuals with psychiatric disorders which do not involve dementia. The second wing is a geropsychiatric unit which treats patients whose illness is complicated by dementia and emphasis is placed on managing cognitive deficits associated with dementia. In both wings, patients receive services from a multi-disciplinary team under the direction of psychiatrists. The mulberry Center provides for 24/7 emergency admissions.
