Four Winds Hospitals

What Four Winds Hospitals does

Four Winds Hospitals is a privately held, family-run psychiatric hospital system operating two campuses in New York State—Westchester (Katonah) and Saratoga Springs—providing specialized behavioral health inpatient and outpatient treatment for children (ages 5–12), adolescents (ages 12–17/18), and adults. The organization was founded in 1978 by Dr. Samuel Klagsbrun and is currently led by his daughter, Dr. Sarah Klagsbrun, as Executive Medical Director and Owner, with her husband Eric Weinstein serving as CEO. Core clinical offerings span a continuum of care including inpatient treatment, a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), and a virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), delivered by multi-disciplinary teams of board-certified psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, mental health counselors, and special-education teachers.

The clinical model is anchored in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), supplemented by Applied Behavior Analysis techniques, expressive arts therapy, recreational therapy, and an on-campus Learning Center staffed by certified master's-level special-education teachers that allows patients to continue academic work (including State Regents and Common Core exams) during treatment. The physical environment is intentionally campus-like, with cottage-style units, courtyards, gardens, and outdoor play areas differentiating the setting from traditional psychiatric hospitals. Patient and family engagement, coordinated discharge planning, and a 7-day follow-up mandate are built into the operating model.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through per diem insurance billing for inpatient, PHP, and IOP services, with published gross charges of $1,440 per diem for inpatient and $400–$675 per diem for partial and intensive outpatient programs, discounted to contracted rates with Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, MVP, and managed Medicaid. The hospital is licensed by the New York State Office of Mental Health (NYS OMH) and accredited by The Joint Commission, and distributes services exclusively through direct admission and a broad referral network spanning family members, emergency rooms, clinicians, schools, physicians, employers, clergy, EAPs, and managed care organizations.
