Each client unit is under the supervision of a Unit Director or Nurse Manager who is responsible for the overall administrative operations and services of the unit supervised. They are clinically trained individuals who have extensive experience in psychiatric hospital operations. Their responsibilities include coordinating programs and activities, providing input to clinical discipline chiefs on the procedures and protocols, team representation, ensuring all policies and procedures of the hospital are accomplished appropriately, and reviewing/correcting environment of care needs.

The clinical disciplines of Medicine, Nursing, Psychology, Forensic Psychology, Social Work, and Activity Therapy have Discipline Chiefs who employ, privilege, assign and supervise professionals in their respective disciplines. They are also responsible for implementing performance improvement programs for professionals in their disciplines. This includes determining the clinical competence of professionals, developing and assigning training that ensures maintenance of skills and supervision of the professional performance of the practitioners in their disciplines. These responsibilities are performed through direct observation and interviews and using data from thorough reviews of medical records and other documentation that reflects each practitioner’s performance.

Each unit has one or more attending physicians who direct medical services for the unit and direct the treatment planning process. Medical specialties include psychiatry and internal medical. Each unit also has professional and paraprofessional staff in nursing, social work, and psychology. The Activity Therapy Department serves all units.
