HUNTSMAN MENTAL HEALTH INSTITUTE CAMPUS OF HOPE
The Miller Family Foundation donated $ 3.5 million to the Huntsman Mental Health Foundation to help fund construction of the new Kem and Carolyn Gardner Mental Health Crisis Care Center . The Gardner Crisis Care Center is the first building on the site of the planned Huntsman Mental Health Institute Campus of Hope , meant to increase Utah ’ s mental health resources .
When the center opens , it will have the capacity to serve 30 people needing shortterm stabilization care and treatment and provide 24 inpatient beds for those requiring long-term care . It will also include a medication-assisted treatment clinic for people with opiate use disorders , intensive outpatient treatment for adults needing support for substance use disorders , and mental health day treatment for adults that need more help than traditional outpatient care .
“
This new crisis care receiving center is a major piece in addressing mental health issues in our city and county . And we believe it will be a model for the state and nation .
