History

They were inspired to start their own business to be able to provide more personalized and better mental health care to their patients.The Pisgah Institute started with seven providers in 1994, and today we have nineteen providers seeing over 4000 patients annually. We also work with residents and medical students who are completing their training in psychiatry.
