Some adolescents face challenges that don’t fit neatly into one category.

They may have serious psychiatric needs alongside complex medical conditions, requiring daily physician oversight, close monitoring, and behavioral support. Yet there are few inpatient settings equipped to manage both medical and behavioral needs.

That’s where the True North Hospital Program comes in.

As part of Nexus Health Systems, True North offers hospital-level, integrated medical and psychiatric care in a secure setting. Interdisciplinary teams work together to stabilize patients, support functional progress, and help guide each young person toward a safer next step in their care journey.

For patients who need more, True North provides direction and hope.

When ventilator dependence becomes a barrier to discharge or recovery, referral decisions matter.

In the Harbor Program at Nexus Health Systems, ventilator weaning is approached as a coordinated, patient-centered process grounded in clinical rigor and compassionate problem solving. Our specialized post-acute programs are designed for patients whose complexity exceeds what traditional settings can support.

Respiratory therapists take the time to understand the full clinical picture, collaborate across disciplines, and engage patients in meaningful ways that accelerate progress toward independent breathing. With advanced equipment and a culture that encourages innovation beyond the textbook, teams are able to safely wean patients who may have stalled elsewhere.

For referring providers and case managers, Nexus offers a trusted partner focused on reduced length of dependence and sustainable transitions of care.

This is such an important concept for parents to consider when thinking about a group home for their child with PWS. If the plan is for behavioral reasons, most likely, if you cannot handle your child’s dysregulated behaviors, neither will the woman in the group home.
