Intermountain Hospital’s Community Partial Hospitalization Program is a structured, therapeutic program that assists in transitioning patients from an inpatient hospital setting to a more independent life in the community. The program is designed to increase and maintain the therapeutic gains individuals have made as patients in the hospital. It may also help prevent the need for future hospitalizations. Community PHP is tailored to meet each individual’s needs and provides direction and tools that each participant can use in their daily lives.
