About Us: 

 

Belmont Behavioral Health System has been a trusted source of superior service for more than 75 years. To ensure that we are best prepared to provide the highest quality of care to individuals and families in the Philadelphia area for decades to come, we have moved into a brand-new building.

This six-story, state-of-the-art hospital has 252 patient beds and an array of beneficial features and amenities designed with comfort and healing in mind.

We paid thoughtful attention to how we can bring as many comforts from home as possible to the children, adolescents, adults, and seniors in our programs.
