Headache Centers & Programs

Utah has no Level 1 or Level 2 headache centers.

There are no UCNS-certified headache centers or formal headache programs in Utah. Patients who need specialist or headache program-level care must travel out of state or access care via telehealth.

Provider counts reflect headache program providers only — not all neurologists at the same address. UCNS certification verified against the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties diplomate directory.
