Heritage Program for Seniors

At Valley County Health System, we know that well-being is more than physical health. The Heritage Program for Seniors at VCHS -- an individualized, outpatient behavioral health program for adults 55+ -- is committed to improving the quality of life for those in our communities. From losing a loved one to episodes of depression and anxiety, our team of psychiatrists, therapists, and mental health technicians create a confidential, welcoming, and comfortable therapeutic environment, enabling our clients to restore optimal emotional health.

Any concerned individual may refer themselves or someone to the program, and staff will meet with the referred individual to discuss program details and the admission process. In order to best meet the needs of our clients, individual, group, and family counseling is available. Groups meet every day, Monday through Friday. Most program participants attend two days a week. Hours are typically 11 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Individual and family appointments are scheduled as needed. Heritage also provides caregiver support and community education.

Medicare and supplemental insurance including Medicaid and most private policies cover the program cost, so there is no out-of-pocket expense for you.

Let us help you improve your overall well-being and quality of life.
