About Primary Children's Eccles Outpatient Services - Salt Lake City
The Behavioral Health programs at Primary Children’s Hospital offer a team of professionals to help understand your child and family’s unique, individualized needs. We offer a wide range of services to treat your family at the right level of care. If your child's needs increase or decrease, we can modify your treatment plan to accommodate them. In addition to this, we offer several unique resources, including speech therapy, recreational therapy, and occupational therapy. Families can access our Assessment, Referral, and Consultation services through a centralized entry point into care by calling (801) 313-7711. An Intake Specialist will help determine options for your next steps.
We offer a wide variety of services to children, adolescents and their families who are experiencing behavioral health symptoms. One of these services is Primary Children’s Medical Psychiatry/Psychology (Med Psych) Program. This service assesses and treats the psychiatric and psychological factors a patient presents with, in the context of their medical condition. We are the only program that offers this service in the Intermountain west region. Another unique aspect of our programming is having full-time nurses supporting our Day Treatment services. Working with Primary Children’s and McKay Dee Hospital we can provide a full continuum of services from outpatient to crisis stabilization.
Please note that without member information we cannot guarantee that your specific plan covers these services. We recommend asking the care provider before beginning services.
My daughter and I saw Charles King PA, He was educated, kind, had a plan, listened well, had a sense of humor, wanted to connect, and talk to my daughter about her care, and asked for her and me to think of questions. I would recommend him and the Primary Children's Eccles cardiac team to any parent.
