Huntsman Mental Health Institute Receiving Center Open House

The Receiving Center at Huntsman Mental Health Institute (HMHI) will reopen to the public Monday, October 2, 2023, with enhanced supportive services and increased capacity, for those experiencing a mental health crisis during a crucial time of need. Renovations for the HMHI Receiving Center were made possible thanks to generous funding from Salt Lake County.

The Receiving Center at HMHI is a program where you or a loved one can receive supportive services to help manage a mental health crisis.

HMHI Receiving Center Ribbon Cutting
Salt Lake County Mayor, Jenny Wilson, and members of the community, along with staff at HMHI, officially reopened the Receiving Center in a ribbon cutting ceremony.
Additionally, the receiving centers will allow law enforcement officers to bring those having a mental health crisis to a safe place where professional help is available. The Receiving Center will serve the community of Salt Lake County until the new Kem and Carolyn Gardner Mental Health Crisis Care Center opens in 2025.

“We appreciate the community’s patience during the construction phase, while we worked to expand capacity (from 6 to 12 beds) and services for a more comprehensive assessment of those dealing with a mental health crisis, in a safe and compassionate environment with a team of caring experts. We thank Salt Lake County and Mayor Jenny Wilson for their generous support of this project”, said Ross VanVranken, Executive Director of HMHI.

Mental health crisis care and support is available 24/7 at HMHI, located at 501 Chipeta Way on the University of Utah campus.
