When Nevada resident Maggie Caracciolo realized her symptoms weren’t the stomach flu but multiple organ failure, she and her husband decided distance wasn’t going to stop her from getting the best care possible. Maggie has managed her hypertrophic cardiomyopathy since she was a teenager by following doctor’s orders. Then, in June 2023, she found herself in extreme pain and assumed she was suffering from the stomach flu. Her local healthcare professionals quickly determined it was much more serious, and she needed to get to a facility that could provide her with a kidney or liver transplant. Maggie’s husband Pete had heard of Intermountain Health through his professional associations. After doing some research, he knew bringing Maggie up to Salt Lake City would be the best decision for her critical condition. “Because of the care team’s diligence, Intermountain saved Maggie’s life,” said Pete. “This whole thing was a miracle.”
On April 1, 2022, Intermountain Health and SCL Health officially became one organization. After the legal paperwork was signed, we began processing what this meant for us, our patients, and our communities. Celebrations happened. Leaders rounded. Questions were asked. We started learning about one another, and we learned our passions, values, and dreams for the future were very much the same. Growing our system brings more talents and resources to improve the health of more communities. It also brings more opportunities for our caregivers to grow in their careers and move within our organization. Two of the many caregivers who’ve transferred to new regions and roles share how they’ve experienced change and growth in our new system below. #wearebettertogether

iAct, our caregiver volunteer impact match program, is designed to support our communities by encouraging our caregivers to get involved and give back. For every hour our caregivers volunteer, they earn 16 community cash points, and each community cash point is the equivalent of $1. Community cash points they earn are then donated to an eligible cause of their choice at the end of the year. These acts of service are the epitome of our value: We serve with empathy. See how Ashley's volunteerism with Share Parents of Utah is helping families after loss. #weservewithempathy

But Select Health, Intermountain’s insurance arm, aims to change that trend by simplifying insurance and making it easy to get care and find answers. Check out first-hand examples of how our Member Advocates at Select Health serve as partners in health by connecting members and many Intermountain patients with the right care at the right time and by making healthcare more accessible.
