Today the big employers are CaroMont Health and Wix Filtration, and downtown is coming back. Belmont, Mount Holly, and Cramerton draw families who want a home they can afford near the city.
Pinnacle Behavioral Health and Wellness offers same-day psychiatric care by video. We serve Gastonia and all of Gaston County. You can skip the drive on I-85.
Same-Day Psychiatry in Gastonia
What we hear from Gaston County
Work and money stress show up in most of our first visits here. A few things come up again and again:
- Shift work that wrecks sleep and mood
- Hours of daily driving to a job in Charlotte
- Job changes as old plants close
- Families hit hard by the opioid crisis
Not many local options
Gastonia has few psychiatric offices. CaroMont Health covers some of the need. Most people still drive to Charlotte, which runs 30 to 45 minutes each way on I-85.
A video visit takes that drive off the table. You can be seen the same day, from home.
