Jamaica Hospital Named City & State New York’s Top Mental Health Care Provider
Dec 31,2025
Jamaica Hospital Medical Center has been named as one of New York State’s 2025 Top Mental Health Care Providers by City & State New York magazine.
According to City & State New York, its list of Top Mental Health Care Providers features dozens of elite healthcare organizations that offer innovative programs and standout services to help New Yorkers thrive and successfully face challenges to their mental health.
Being named as one of New York State’s top mental health care providers highlights Jamaica Hospital’s Department of Psychiatry’s commitment to meeting the mental health needs of the community it serves.
Jamaica Hospital’s Department of Psychiatry provides comprehensive mental health care for the most culturally and ethnically diverse community in the United States, including a Comprehensive Psychiatry Emergency Program with about 6,000 annual visits, two inpatient units with over 1,800 admissions annually, and New York City’s only 24/7 mobile crisis team responding within two hours. At our sister institution, Flushing Hospital Medical Center, we complement these services with our complete substance use disorder and chemical dependency program.
Additionally, the department offers integrated outpatient care through about 42,000 annual visits and specialized programs in psycho-oncology, obesity care, and perinatal health.
Jamaica Hospital is proud to be recognized for its high-quality mental healthcare and as a Top Mental Health Care Provider among New York’s distinguished healthcare organizations. “This recognition honors our commitment to a simple but powerful idea: exceptional mental health care must be accessible, culturally attuned, and integrated with overall health. We are proud to serve as a beacon of hope and healing for the resilient and diverse community we call home,” stated Dr. Daniel Chen, Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Addiction Services at Jamaica Hospital.
