The Horsham Clinic also offers partial hospitalization services for children, teens and adults at our main campus in Ambler, and at our Chester County and Delaware County partial programs. We are committed to restoring every patient's emotional well-being through interdisciplinary clinical programs and care that are provided by highly skilled professionals. At Horsham, we encourage patients to grow and learn from their treatment, as well as develop their full potential to enjoy their quality of life with family, friends and within their community.

The Registered Nurse is a key member of the treatment team and works under the supervision of the CNO, ADON, and Nurse Manager. Primary responsibilities include the provision of a safe and therapeutic milieu, crisis intervention and activities of daily living.
