Intermountain Health is providing specialized medical services at its Riverton Hospital location, featuring an Applied Clinical Behavior Analysis clinic for children ages 2 to 6 and a comprehensive cancer center offering advanced oncology treatments and clinical trials.
Pediatric ABA Services in Riverton
The Primary Children's Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Clinic at Riverton Hospital focuses on providing care for children diagnosed with autism or developmental disabilities. The clinic is currently accepting new patients between the ages of 2 and 6, provided they have a diagnosis from a qualified provider.
According to Intermountain Health, the clinic accepts both self-referrals with supporting documentation of a diagnosis and referrals sent directly from medical professionals. The facility also accepts most major insurance providers for its services.
Clinical Process and Staffing
The ABA clinic's clinical team includes board-certified behavior analysts (BCBAs) and registered behavior technicians (RBTs). Specifically identified providers at the location include Julie Moosman, BCBA; Makenna Peterson Carnesecca, BCBA; and Jessica Anna Osos, BCBA.
The clinic's treatment process begins with an initial assessment that can last between two and four hours. During this visit, clinicians evaluate a child's strengths, needs, and daily routines to guide the development of a personalized plan. Following the assessment, the clinic coordinates with insurance companies for approval, a process that typically takes between one to four weeks before ongoing therapy can be scheduled.
Family Support and Location
The ABA program emphasizes family involvement through monthly training sessions. These sessions are designed to help parents implement effective strategies at home, which helps reinforce the skills learned during clinic sessions and supports the family unit.
Intermountain Health notes that their approach is evidence-based and integrated with other specialists within the children's hospital network. The clinic is located at 3773 West 12600 South, Riverton, UT, specifically in Entrance D, Zone D, Level 3 of the facility.
Comprehensive Cancer Care Services
In addition to pediatric behavioral services, the Intermontain Health Cancer Center at Riverton Hospital provides a wide range of oncology-related medical services. The center offers specialized care in areas such as classical hematology, genetic counseling, and high-risk cancer prevention.
The facility's multidisciplinary approach includes various supportive services such as oncology nutrition, palliative care, and navigation services to help patients manage their treatment journey.
Oncology Treatments and Trials
The cancer center provides several specific types of oncology treatments. Medical oncology services include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy tailored to individual diagnoses. For patients requiring radiation, the center offers on-site radiation oncology, which includes image-guided external beam radiation, stereotactic radiosurgery, and brachytherapy.
Surgical oncology is also available, featuring minimally invasive options that are coordinated through a multidisciplinary team. Additionally, the center provides access to Phase I clinical trials, which allow patients to participate in the testing of new drugs and innovative therapies.
Accreditation and Patient Support
The Cancer Center at Riverton is accredited by the Commission on Cancer (CoC). This accreditation signifies that the program provides comprehensive care, including evidence-based treatment planning, patient-centered services, and options for genetic assessment and palliative care.
Beyond direct medical intervention, the center offers support through nutritionists, registered dietitians to maintain strength during treatment, and various community resources such as free cancer support groups and wellness classes provided by Intermountain Health.
