OUR HISTORY

In 2003, Mulberry Center, Inc. was established by Southwestern Indiana Mental Health Foundation, Inc. in response to the need for more community-based mental health services.  By increasing treatment resources in our community, Evansville area families and employers benefit from our ability to provide rapid access to treatment.  At Mulberry Center, a therapist can almost always begin seeing a patient within three days of the initial call, and, in the event of a crisis, the patient is assessed the day of the first call.

Although Mulberry Center, Inc. is a fairly new resource in our community, it has roots that reach back to 1985 when Welborn Hospital operated a psychiatric facility, also named Mulberry Center.  With the sale of Welborn Hospital to St. Mary's Medical Center, the original Mulberry Center eventually discontinued operations.  Southwestern stepped in with the recommendation to re-establish Mulberry Center to continue with the quality services provided by the original Mulberry Center through the years.  The majority of clinical staff at Mulberry Center today served patients at the original Mulberry Center. 

This veteran team of clinicians is committed to our general mission of providing Solutions for Life for our patients.  Our commitment is to uphold a standard of excellence that has always been associated with the name, Mulberry Center.
