Intermountain Health provides region-specific financial assistance and a broad pediatric family-support system. The Utah/Idaho/Nevada and Colorado/Montana/Wyoming financial pathways are separated because their rules, forms, contacts, and languages differ. Children’s supports include Child Life, expressive therapies, social work, communication assistance, Rainbow Kids palliative care, pediatric hospice, bereavement, spiritual care, coordinated scheduling, peer mentorship, and Kids Clubhouse. Several service areas and schedules require targeted recheck.
