Southern Metro - Intermountain Healthcare - Lehi Campus
Construction on The Metro Wasatch Front's Second Major Primary Children’s Hospital.

...Situated in the heart of Utah County, one of America's fastest growing areas, Lehi was chosen specifically to provide quick access for the thousands of families that live there, like the Partidas.

“Having this new Primary Children’s will be amazing, not only for us for follow-ups and things that she may need in the future, surgeries and revisions, but for other families that might be going through the same thing,” Jacob Partida said. “You know, every time you see that helicopter of Life Flight, somebody’s story begins.”

The five-story hospital will be equipped with a medical-surgical unit, pediatric and surgical newborn intensive care units, an in-patient behavioral health unit and an observation unit adjacent to the emergency department, said Lisa Paletta, administrator of the Lehi campus...

Construction progresses on a second Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital campus in Lehi on Thursday, Nov. 19, 2020. The campus will address the health care needs of a rapidly growing population in Utah County and an increasing need for specialty pediatric care in the area.

...Building the 38-acre campus, hospital, and medical office will cost an estimated $335 million, Paletta said. The second Primary Children’s location is part of Intermountain’s plan to build the nation’s model health system for children, which it announced in January. Intermountain has pledged $250 million to see the goal through. Aside from opening the new campus, Intermountain plans to add an advanced fetal care center, an augmented Level 4 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and an expanded cancer treatment center. It also hopes to extend its pediatric care network to offer better virtual services, as well as implement programs to help children with their mental and behavioral health. Intermountain estimates the total cost will be around $500 million...

The new Primary Children’s Hospital, a community focal point in Lehi’s west side, has taken shape in Holbrook Farms off 2100 North.

... Recently installed features on the campus include:

– A helipad to support the safe transfer of children needing urgent care in the full-service trauma center. X-ray machines will be included in trauma bays so patients can be diagnosed and treated quickly and efficiently.

– Sophie’s Place music therapy room. Sophie’s Place is a dedicated specialty music therapy room that originated at Primary Children’s Salt Lake City campus. This concept has been replicated in 10 children’s hospitals nationwide. Sophie’s Place is celebrating its 10th anniversary this summer.

– Fun, colorful lighting in every patient room that kids can operate themselves. For instance, if their favorite color is purple, they can turn on purple footlights to light up their walls. This feature helps children express themselves, feel at ease, enjoy a fun distraction and have some control over their environment.
