Intermountain Health (formerly Intermountain Healthcare) is a United States not-for-profit healthcare system with 385 clinics and 33 hospitals in the Intermountain West (primarily Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and Utah). The company's headquarters are in Salt Lake City, Utah. Colorado-based SCL Health and Intermountain Health merged in 2022. The combined system employs more than 64,000 people.[3]

History

[edit | edit source]

Intermountain Health was founded on April 1, 1975, after the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints donated fifteen hospitals, as a system, to what would become Intermountain Health.[4][5]

In 1982, Intermountain Health began providing non-hospital services, including clinics and home healthcare.[6]

In 2006, Intermountain renamed its health insurance plan "SelectHealth" and formalized the separate management of its insurance operations.[7]

In 2009, Intermountain Health was identified as a healthcare model by President Barack Obama, "We have long known that some places, like the Intermountain Healthcare in Utah..., offer high-quality care at a cost below average."[8] According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, Utah's per capita spending on healthcare is 44 percent below the national average.[8]

Intermountain Health announced that beginning in 2011, it would offer health insurance benefits for its employees' domestic partners.[9]

In response to drug shortages and pricing scandals, Intermountain Health and other hospitals formed a generic drug manufacturer, Civica Rx, in 2018 to produce generic drugs that are in short supply or highly priced.[10][11][12][13][14]

In early October 2020, Intermountain Health acquired Saltzer Health[15] of Idaho from Tommy Ahlquist following a failed acquisition of Saltzer Health by St. Luke's Boise Medical Center.[16]

In late October 2020, Intermountain Health and Sanford Health signed an intent to merge.[17] The merger would make Sanford Health a subsidiary of Intermountain Health with the resulting system consisting of 70 hospitals with 89,000 employees.[18] In early December, the merger was postponed indefinitely after the C.E.O. of Sanford Health, Kelby Krabbenhoft, was abruptly replaced by Bill Gassen after Krabbenhoft voiced anti-mask sentiments.[19][20]

In early 2022, Intermountain Health launched a program for people with long-haul COVID-19 symptoms.[21]

Intermountain completed a merger with SCL Health on April 1, 2022, expanding the healthcare system's reach into Colorado, Kansas, and Montana.[22]

Intermountain changed its name from Intermountain Healthcare to Intermountain Health in 2023.[23]

Intermountain constructed the Lehi Primary Children's Hospital for roughly $335 million between 2020 and 2024.[24][25] Gail Miller, who formerly chaired Intermountain's board, donated $50 million toward the construction of Lehi Primary Children's Hospital.[26] The campus was named in honor of her family. The hospital began accepting patients on February 12, 2024[27]
