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.[1]

History

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.[2][3]

In 1982, Intermountain Health began providing non-hospital services such as clinics and home healthcare.[4]

In 2006, Intermountain renamed its health insurance plan "SelectHealth" and formalized the separate management of the insurance side of the organization.[5]

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."[6] According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, Utah's per capita spending on healthcare is 44 percent below the national average.[6]

Intermountain Health announced that beginning in 2011, it would offer health insurance benefits for its employees' domestic partners.[7]

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.[8][9][10][11][12]

In early October 2020, Intermountain Health acquired Saltzer Health[13] of Idaho from Tommy Ahlquist following a failed acquisition of Saltzer Health by St. Luke's Boise Medical Center.[14]

In late October 2020, Intermountain Health and Sanford Health signed an intent to merge.[15] The merger would make Sanford Health a subsidiary of Intermountain Health with the resulting system consisting of 70 hospitals with 89,000 employees.[16] 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.[17][18]

In early 2022, Intermountain Health created a program for those suffering from long-haul COVID-19 symptoms.[19]

Intermountain completed a merger with SCL Health on April 1, 2022, expanding the healthcare system's reach into Colorado, Kansas, and Montana.[20]

Intermountain changed its name from Intermountain Healthcare to Intermountain Health in 2023.[21]

Intermountain constructed the Lehi Primary Children's Hospital for roughly $335 million between 2020 and 2024.[22][23] Gail Miller, who formerly chaired Intermountain's board, donated $50 million toward the construction of Lehi Primary Children's Hospital.[24] The campus was named in honor of her family. The hospital began accepting patients on February 12, 2024[25]
