William W. Jepson, M.D. Day Treatment Program
(612) 873-4304

The William W. Jepson, M.D. Day Treatment Program at HCMC serves adults living with serious mental illness to optimize potential and build hope. Clients choose three groups per day to meet their needs, while continuing to work with their own outpatient psychiatrist.

The Day Treatment Program has three tracks to service a wide variety of clients: 1) Life Skills for clients who desire a more concrete, skill building program, 2) Interpersonal Skills for persons wanting more insight oriented programming and to look at life patterns, and 3) Dual diagnosis (MICD) for clients wanting continuing support for managing both sobriety and psychiatric symptoms. Clients participate in the program for an average of six months.
