May 22, 2026- Mental health care in the Salt Lake Valley is getting a major boost thanks to an investment by Intermountain Health in a new state-of-the-art Behavior Health Center in Sandy that will significantly increase access to mental health care and specialized services for patients throughout Salt Lake County. The new 56-bed Behavioral Health Center at Intermountain Alta View Hospital, 9660 South 1300 East in Sandy, opens for patient care in June and doubles the number of patient beds for behavioral health care offered by Intermountain Health.
The new center includes a walk-in behavioral health access center for those in crisis, a specialized medical withdrawal management program, and a unique Maternal Mental Health Unit for new moms needing mental healthcare – the first of its kind in Utah.
