The 62-bed facility is currently under construction in Orem and, upon completion, will be Utah's only private, freestandinp psychiatric unit. According to Larry Carter, administrator ad-ministrator of the hospital, the site additions will help the hospital to better serve the public.

According to Carter, it will eventually employ about 200 people and provide complete inpatient in-patient and out-patient psychiatric care for adults, adolescents and children. "The need for a comprehensive facility like Charter Canyon definitely exists in Utah," says Carter. "Part of our job is to work with other mental health professionals to overcome the stigma often associated with our field. The final approval of the expanded Charter Canyon site plan is a positive step in that direction." |
