Mental Health Technician (Nursing Assistant)

It takes passion and dedication to meet the behavioral health needs of our community. Through a unique collaboration between Universal Health Services and Providence Health Services, Inland Northwest Behavioral Health Hospital became the first free-standing mental health hospital in the city of Spokane, Washington.

The hospital, located near the Sacred Heart Medical Campus, nestles into the hillside, consolidating the public areas and service spaces on the first floor. The facility includes a dining room, a gym, and each of the four units has 2 activity rooms—one for louder activities, such as music, and another for quiet activities. There are also two outdoor courtyards, office spaces, as well as 100 patient beds. The x-shaped design separates the 100 patient beds into four 25 bed wings and centralizes staff for security and operational efficiencies. Three of the inpatient units are designated for adults (18 ) and the fourth unit is specifically designed for adolescents ages 13-17. It is the hospital’s aim to provide a “home-like environment” to promote a holistic, patient centered approach to mental health. Through the integration of architecture, artwork, and landscaping, the facility overcomes the stigma associated with the care provided within, and provides a safe, encouraging and aesthetically pleasing place where people can heal.
