The Washington Heights Community Service (WHCS) is a comprehensive community-based program for individuals with serious mental illness who live in Northern Manhattan. The Service consists of a 22-bed inpatient unit at the New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI) often referred to as “5 South” (formerly 4 South) and three outpatient clinics: the Audubon Clinic, the Inwood Clinic, and the OnTrackNY/WHCS clinic, a specialized clinic for early psychosis. We serve approximately 1000 people and aim to promote mental health recovery in a culturally sensitive environment. Our services are located in designated mental health shortage areas by the National Health Service Corps. English and Spanish language services are offered in each of our settings. Our individualized treatment emphasizes recovery and coordinated care between inpatient and outpatient settings. Please refer to descriptions of each component of the WHCS on this website for more details.
