Lindner Center of HOPE

Who We Are: The Lindner Center of HOPE is a nonprofit, comprehensive mental health center and global leader offering stateof-the-science diagnosis and treatment of the most pervasive mental illnesses of our time. • One of the first centers designed as a fully integrated system of care to address deficiencies in mental health care as identified by the Institute of Medicine. • Innovative inpatient and outpatient programs in partnership with UC Health and Cincinnati Children’s serving nearly 48,000 patients from around the world. • A leader in research and collaborations that are advancing the field and positioning Cincinnati as a national leader in mental health care.

What We Do: Lindner Center of HOPE takes a progressive and scientific approach to assessing and treating mental disorders. Research shows that early diagnosis improves patient rate of recovery. That’s why leading mental health experts at Lindner Center of HOPE begin with a complete, onsite diagnostic assessment. Then, since every patient’s need is different, the team recommends and facilitates a tailored treatment plan. Lindner Center of HOPE takes the extra step of formally involving the patient’s family in the diagnostic and treatment process, leading to better long-term outcomes.

Lindner Center of HOPE is a leader in diagnosing and treating mental disorders.

Why We’re Important: The Center is at the forefront of the most critical public health issue of our time, providing the region’s most advanced diagnostic and treatment services to people suffering with mental illnesses.

As a founding member, and one of only 22 accredited National Network of Depression Centers, our team of world-class clinician researchers seamlessly connect local patients to the latest proven learnings and treatments available, bringing new hope to community members wanting a better life.

As one patient’s parents said, “Without the Center, it’s doubtful (our son) would be alive today and certainly not the productive young man he is now.”

How We Serve the Community: Mental health remains shrouded in stigma at a time when the need for services for people suffering is increasing dramatically. The Center continues to offer free, public education programs (online and in-person) that build understanding and acceptance that mental health needs are as common and treatable as other chronic illnesses.

Currently, the demand for services far exceeds the mental health resources in our community. The Lindner Center of HOPE is working to increase access to mental healthcare through an expanded staff and services aligned with critical community needs. This includes addiction services, outpatient programs and telehealth services.

How You Can Help: In 2020 we discovered telehealth not only allowed for greater patient access but, our patient outcomes and satisfaction ratings improved overall - increasing our ability to treat more people. Of all outpatients treated to date, 90% preferred telehealth visits to in-person appointments.

Expanding virtual mental health services simply cannot wait. A centralized telehealth service at the Center will reduce clinician administrative costs; assist clinicians in securing credentials for in-state and out-of-state virtual patient visits; enhance the quality of telehealth services; equip the Center with a videoconferencing platform, serving outpatient and inpatient family visits.
