Utah's Best Mental Health Care

U.S. News & World Report Badge Logo for Psychiatry
In November of 2019, the Huntsman family made a generous donation of $150 million to create the Huntsman Mental Health Institute (HMHI). As part of a world-renowned academic health system, HMHI provides comprehensive mental health services and psychiatric care. 

HMHI’s hospital facility (previously the University Neuropsychiatric Institute) offers a safe and healing environment and exceptional patient care throughout the Salt Lake Valley.

Our researchers are a pioneering force in expanding the understanding of complex functions of the brain. Innovation has come from brain imaging and genetic studies related to addiction, suicide prevention, depression, and other disorders.

HMHI’s education program through the School of Medicine boasts highly competitive general psychiatry and triple-board residency programs, bringing the nation’s best clinicians to Utah.

HMHI Receiving Center Temporarily Closed Until Summer 2023

The Receiving Center at HMHI is temporarily closed as we improve our supportive services to those experiencing a mental health crisis. The Receiving Center is tentatively scheduled to reopen in Summer 2023. Mental health crisis care and support is available 24/7 at HMHI at University of Utah Health. Get help with crisis response, suicide prevention, and emotional support by calling 1-800-587-3000 or dial 988 for crisis care and support.
