Summary: - Sarah Bush Lincoln (SBL) is a non-profit healthcare system based in Mattoon, Illinois, with a network that includes two hospitals (Mattoon’s Sarah Bush Lincoln with 150 beds and Vandalia’s SBL Fayette County Hospital with 25 beds) and more than 57 clinics across a 10-county area, plus stand-alone surgery centers, a regional cancer center, and a hospice house. - The system provides comprehensive services including cancer care, cardiology, orthopedics, diagnostic imaging, pediatrics, occupational therapy, women’s health, and other medical services. It emphasizes local decision-making to stay agile in changing markets. - SBL employs about 607 staff and generates roughly $210 million in annual revenue. It was founded in 1977 and is headquartered in Mattoon, IL. - For Psychiatry and Counseling specifically, the site indicates a broad hospital-based, clinic-based, and specialty care environment, but does not provide explicit details on a dedicated psychiatry department or counseling services in the excerpt. Given the organization’s scale (regional hospital system with comprehensive services), Psychiatry and Counseling services are likely offered through the medical staff and related clinics, but you may want to verify exact programs, locations, and specialists (e.g., psychiatric care, behavioral health, counseling services) directly on the SBL site or by contacting their main campus in Mattoon or the psychiatric/behavioral health department. If you’re seeking Psychiatry and Counseling specifically at Sarah Bush Lincoln in Charleston/Charleston-area references, note that SBL’s campuses are primarily Mattoon (near Charleston) and Vandalia; there isn’t a dedicated Charleston campus listed in the provided information. For precise programs, locations, and providers, I can pull the latest details from the Sarah Bush Lincoln site or help you contact their behavioral health department.
