Children's Care Center        |        Adolescent Care Center


At Mountain View Hospital, we take the care and treatment of children and adolescents very seriously and have continuously worked to be able to provide the best possible care needed.  The continuum of care is based on the need to provide complete services throughout the recovery process.  To that end, Mountain View Hospital has specialized programs for acute inpatient stabilization, residential care (long-term care) and therapeutic foster care.  This wide-range of programs means that a child or adolescent can have care in the least restrictive method possible.
