Renowned Philadelphia-Based Practice Brings
Critical Support to an Underserved
State with Six Experienced Providers
WILMINGTON, Del., Aug. 13,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Rittenhouse Psychiatric
Associates, a leading mental health practice based in Philadelphia, announces a significant
expansion of its services into Delaware, addressing a crucial gap in the
state's mental health care landscape. This strategic move
brings hope to a region grappling with severe shortages in
psychiatric care.
Founded in 2012, Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates has built a
strong reputation for providing high-quality mental health care
across Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. The practice boasts a
team of distinguished Academic Psychiatric Providers, many of whom
teach or have taught at prestigious institutions such as the
University of Pennsylvania, The Johns
Hopkins Hospital and similar institutions. Their extensive
clinical and academic experience will now aid Delaware residents who have long struggled
with limited access to quality psychiatric care.
"For years, patients have been calling our practice, asking if
we had a satellite office in Delaware. They spoke of severe mental health
shortages in their area, with six plus months' wait for reputable
outpatient psychiatry practices," expressed Rittenhouse Founder and
Medical Director, Dr. Chris Pagnani.
"Many would drive to our offices in Philadelphia, to receive care. With the help
of both telemedicine services, and the opening of our new office in
Wilmington, we are now able to
serve these individuals."
"I'm particularly excited about expanding our student mental
health services to students enrolled at The University of Delaware and Wilmington University," stated Richard D'Amato, CRNP of Rittenhouse Psychiatric
Associates. "There's a great deal of stress associated with being a
college or graduate student these days, and we're here to
help."
Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates has six practitioners
currently licensed to provide services in Delaware including psychiatrists, psychiatric
nurse practitioners, and psychologists. Their education and
training come from respected institutions such as Johns Hopkins, The University
of Pennsylvania, Tufts, and
Jefferson Hospital.
With a recently reported twenty nine percent of Delaware's adult population reporting feeling
symptoms of a mental illness, Rittenhouse Psychiatric
Associates hopes to mitigate those effects, creating a more
fruitful and happier community.
