About Pomerado Hospital – Poway

They had 12 beds in their treatment center that offered psychiatric intensive care and crisis stabilization for those in need. Accredited by the Joint Commission, this was also a training treatment center for student nurses and psychology interns.
The facility was located near the Poway Center for the Performing Arts, the Potato Chip Rock Trailhead at Mount Woodson and Blue Sky Ecological Reserve.
