Earlier this month, Intermountain Park City Hospital broke ground for a major addition to its facilities that includes a state-of-the-art cancer center, along with expansion of the emergency department and surgical services. These additions will help ensure the hospital can continue to meet the needs of a growing population, along with the millions of tourists who visit every year. “We're embarking on a groundbreaking era at Intermountain Park City Hospital that will generationally redefine cancer care along the Wasatch Back,” said Lori Weston, president of Intermountain Park City Hospital. “Research has shown people have better outcomes when they can receive care closer to home and this expansion will help us meet that goal.”

Whether we work in food services, finance, pediatrics, supply chain, or any of the other hundreds of Intermountain Health departments, we’re all caregivers. That label shouldn’t be taken lightly — even caregivers who don’t interact directly with patients or have a clinical role still support our most important work: helping people live the healthiest lives possible. Here are a few ways caregivers have contributed to our patients’ healing.
Intermountain Health has an unwavering commitment to the communities and people we serve. Our Community Health team partners with local organizations to address and prioritize identified health needs. By using data and community input, we help people live the healthiest lives across the region. During this Community Health Improvement Week, here’s one example from showing how partnerships across health systems, governments, non-profits and business all worked together to address opioid and substance abuse disorder and many of the other issues that are causes and effects of this national drug crisis.
What started in hospital storerooms became a systemwide success because clinical teams and the Supply Chain Organization rolled up their sleeves together. Nurse manager Amy Gittins didn’t go into healthcare to manage supply closets. But like many caregivers in Intermountain Health’s Medical Group clinics, she spent too much time checking bins, placing orders, and tracking down supplies — time that pulled her away from patients and her team. Across the system, clinical caregivers and supply chain professionals shared similar frustrations: disorganized supply closets, inconsistent ordering processes, and no reliable way to keep inventory flowing without someone constantly watching it. Amy had seen the Supply Chain field logistics’ two-bin system work successfully in Intermountain hospitals and became an advocate for bringing this simple, visual system to the Medical Group. Her advocacy and persistence paid off. After Medical Group leaders saw several early wins, they went from asking why they should implement this change to how soon it could be in place.
We are expanding access to high-quality care in Cache Valley with the opening of the new Intermountain East Logan Clinic. Located at 550 East 1400 North on the Intermountain Logan Regional Hospital campus, the new clinic specializes in family medicine and geriatric care. Ryan Allen, MD, who previously practiced in Cache Valley, is joining the clinic team as a primary care physician. “I’m thrilled to be serving patients back here in the valley, and I look forward to helping meet the needs of this community,” said Dr. Allen. Doctors began seeing patients on June 4. “We’re excited to open this new primary care location which will significantly increase access for patients in Cache Valley,” said, Jana Huffman, Intermountain’s market vice president of medical group operations in Northern Utah. “Our new geriatrician, Dr. Landon Watts, is also joining us this fall, and his arrival marks an important step in bringing specialized care for older adults to the Cache Valley.”
School may be out for summer, but that didn’t stop teens receiving cancer treatment at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital from enjoying one of the biggest traditions of high school – prom night. Because some young cancer patients aren’t always well enough to go to their high school prom, caregivers at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital brought a special prom night to them. This year’s theme was The Wizard of OZ. Intermountain Health cancer center caregivers converted conference rooms into a sparkling dance hall, complete with food, a DJ, prom photos, and many other experiences thanks to community generosity. “Cancer robs children of the many experiences that make up a childhood because they’re going through treatment,” said Caroline Dolan, a social worker at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital. “Our team at Primary Children’s knows how important it is in the healing process for kids to have normal experiences, and that’s why they work so hard to make this prom special.”
