Скачать или смотреть ‘Help is here’: Primary Children’s Hospital Taylorsville opens

The new Primary Children’s Hospital Taylorsville Campus, which was built as part of Intermountain Health’s strategic plan to establish the premier pediatric health care system in the United States, opened with a ribbon cutting celebration on Aug. 22. Jacobsen joined caregivers, patients and community leaders for the special occasion.

"This is our shared legacy: Caring for children. This is who we are," Utah Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson told attendees at the celebration of the new campus, which was made possible in part by a state appropriation of $25 million. "This facility is evidence of that.”

The 120,000 square-foot, three-story hospital is dedicated entirely to behavioral health and will include a comprehensive continuum of care. This includes a crisis assessment center, a 36-bed inpatient psychiatric care area, intensive outpatient therapy spaces, partial hospitalization programs, an outpatient counseling center, schooling support areas and more. The hospital welcomed its first patients on Sept. 6. 

“No family is immune to mental health challenges, and the kids in our communities need help and support,” said Amanda Choudhary, president of Primary Children’s Hospital Taylorsville Campus. “We will see every type of family here, and we’re prepared to support any family with whatever mental health crisis or obstacle their child needs to work through.”

The new hospital replaces the old Wasatch Canyons behavioral health campus on the property. The existing campus was dispersed across seven buildings that were less efficient for giving comprehensive care, said Scott Sabin, the Jacobsen Construction project manager who led all work on the jobsite. The new facility makes everything much more easily accessible under one roof, he said. 

“The team synergy that they're going to have for patient care is going to be so much better for these kids, who won’t need to go from building to building to building for each individual thing,” Sabin said.
