The Intermountain Health Primary Children's Hospital Behavioral Health Taylorsville Campus is marking its one-year anniversary, having served more than 9,000 pediatric patients since its opening in September 2025, according to a September 11 statement.
The 90,000-square-foot campus located at 5770 South 1500 West in Taylorsville was established to address growing regional demand for pediatric behavioral health services.
During the past year, the facility has provided care for more than 1,100 patients through its 24/7 Crisis Walk-In Center, which is the only unit of its kind in the state. The campus has also recorded 12,600 outpatient visits.
To meet increasing demand, the campus has expanded its inpatient beds by 50% and increased outpatient appointment capacity by 25%. Amanda Choudhary, president of the campus, stated that the facility was designed to provide families with a dedicated place for healing and recovery.
The facility includes several specialized services, such as an Observation Unit, two Partial Hospitalization Programs, and an Intensive Outpatient Program. It also offers a Dialectical Behavior Therapy program focused on suicide prevention and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy rooms.
The campus was made possible through community donations and a $25 million investment from the state of Utah.
Recent data shows that 12.6% of Utah students in grades 6 through 12 reported seriously considering suicide in 2025, compared to 17.6% in 2023. Suicide attempts declined from 7.3% to 5.6% during that same period, while the percentage of students reporting feelings of sadness or hopelessness decreased from 34.1% to 26.2%.
