The Desimone Levee on the Green River failed and is under repair. The hospital is above the flood zone and currently in no danger of flooding. We evacuated our Time Square and Kent Station Clinics and our Lind Avenue locations. Several locations are experiencing staffing issues due to severe traffic impacts. Impacted patients are being contacted to reschedule appointments. Please be safe, do not drive or walk through standing water, and call 9-1-1 if you need emergency evacuation assistance.

UW Psychiatry Consult Line
The UW Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences recently launched a new service to help prescribing providers in Washington receive clinic advice for adults (18+) with mental health and/or substance use disorders.
Providers can call 877.WA.PSYCH (877.927.7924) and after a short intake with a health navigator, they are connected to a UW Medicine psychiatrist. After the consultation, the psychiatrist sends written documentation of the recommendations to the caller via e-mail. The service is free to the caller. The consultation line is staffed Monday to Friday 8 AM to 5 PM. Beginning July 1, 2020 it will be staffed 24/7. There is no limit to how many times a provider can call. An online FAQ page has additional details.
Please note that this is only a phone consult service. The Psychiatry and Counseling Clinic at Valley Medical Center continues to accept patients in Renton. The intake line is 425.690.3414 .
