The Vituity Difference

Vituity is a physician owned and led multispecialty partnership that has been raising the standard of care and transforming how, when and where it is delivered for 50 years. Our 5,000 doctors and clinicians care for nearly 8 million patients a year across 450 practice locations and nine acute care specialties.

The Practice

The Orange County HCA Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) provides emergency psychiatric and crisis stabilization services that include intervention, medication administration, consultation with significant others and outpatient providers, as well as linkage and/or referral to follow-up care and community resources. The unit also offers psychiatric consultation over the phone to hospital emergency room staff and other County-operated and contracted program staff by request. The primary goal of the CSU is to refer clients to the most appropriate, non-hospital setting when indicated or to facilitate admission to psychiatric inpatient units when the need for this level of care is present.
