Rogers Memorial Hospital was recently featured in a well-written review by Woodbury Reports. For those of you who don’t know, Woodbury Reports publishes Struggling Teens, a leading online resource for parents and professionals. Woodbury sends a reporter to visit each program it reviews. I had the privilege of giving the author of this particular article a tour of our campus.

I learned that most of the day is spent in therapeutic activities – both individual and group work. Brad Riemann, PhD, nationally recognized for his work with patients with anxiety issues, especially OCD, has made cognitive behavioral therapy an important part of the treatment modalities at Rogers. He has modified the work so these young patients can reap its benefits.

Treatment at The Child Center at Rogers Memorial Hospital focuses on developing awareness, responsibility and change. Our collaborative treatment team helps children identify their personal challenges over an open 45 to 60 day treatment stay. We are so pleased that the reporter from Woodbury reports saw and understood these key elements of our program.

You can find out more about The Child Center by viewing the center’s Web page or by watching this short video.

Attendees Get First Glimpse Of New Eating Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Treatment Centers

Town of Summit, Wisc. – State and local leaders were introduced to Rogers Memorial Hospital’s newest residential treatment centers on Friday, Feb. 29. About 40 people, including neighbors of the Delafield-located center, attended the grand opening ceremony.

The facilities are roughly a mile east of the main Oconomowoc location. The two centers include 24 beds – 16 for individuals with eating disorders, featuring specialized programming for adults with co-occurring anxiety disorders, and eight beds for individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder and other anxiety disorders.

The residential expansion is not the only thing Rogers Memorial Hospital’s officials have on their agenda. A $7 million addition to Rogers Memorial Hospital – Milwaukee, located in West Allis, is expected to open in June 2008. Additionally, plans are underway to expand the Herrington Recovery Center, a residential chemical dependency treatment program for adults at the Oconomowoc campus.

The hospital is nationally recognized for its residential treatment centers including the Eating Disorder Center, the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Center and the Child and Adolescent Centers.
