Mobile Psychiatry Unit Brings ‘Concierge-Level’ Service to Highest-Need Patients in Riverside
Our incredible psychiatrist at Riverside University Health System - Behavioral Health (RUHS-BH), Scott Weigold, M.D., is making waves with his groundbreaking work in mental health care. Eight years ago, Scott took on the monumental challenge of addressing the mental health crisis in Riverside County. With a small team, he spearheaded the RUHS-BH Mobile Psychiatric Service (MPS), which now roves the county, providing "concierge-level" mental health support to our highest-need patients.
Scott and his dedicated team offer on-the-spot mental health rehabilitation, medication services, substance use care, and case management. Their innovative approach has transformed the lives of countless residents by bringing essential clinic services directly to them, reducing costly and intrusive crisis visits.
Join us in celebrating Scott's extraordinary commitment to improving our community's mental health!
