Description
Mission Statement
In 1813 the founders of Friends Hospital penned this simple yet wonderfully benevolent mission statement
To provide for the suitable accommodation of persons who are or may be deprived of the use of their reason and the maintenance of an asylum for their reception which is intended to furnish besides requisite medical aid such tender sympathetic attention as may soothe their agitated minds and under the Divine Blessing facilitate their recovery
Many things have changed at Friends Hospital since 1813 but this mission statement has been perfectly preserved It has served as a great foundation and to it we have added a modern medical approach to the treatment of mental emotional and behavioral illnesses
