MWI Health provides scheduled outpatient psychiatric care. We are not an emergency service, but we are here for what comes next: understanding what is driving these thoughts, treating the underlying condition, and working with you on a plan to stay safe.
Our providers serve South Dakota, North Dakota, and Iowa, in person and by telehealth. If you are leaving a hospital or crisis program, we can help with follow-up care so you are not navigating the next steps alone.
