History

Intermountain Healthcare was founded on April 1, 1975 after The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints donated fifteen hospitals, as a system, to the intermountain community. [5] [6]

In 1982, Intermountain Healthcare began providing non-hospital services such as clinics and home healthcare. [7]

In 2006, Intermountain renamed its health insurance plan "SelectHealth" and formalized the separate management of the insurance side of the organization. [8]

In 2009, Intermountain Healthcare 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 cost below average." [9] According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, Utah's per capita spending on healthcare is 44 percent below the national average. [9]

Intermountain Healthcare announced that beginning in 2011 it would offer health insurance benefits for its employees' domestic partners. [10]

Intermountain Healthcare operates 25 hospitals in Utah and Idaho.[7] Intermountain also operates 225 clinics, and urgent care facilities in Utah, Idaho, and Nevada, 160 of which are run by physicians as part of the Intermountain Medical Group. [6] In total, Intermountain Healthcare employs about 2,800 physicians and advanced practice providers. Intermountain also provides insurance to nearly one million people in Utah, Idaho, and Nevada. It is also the largest private employer in Utah. [11]

In response to drug shortages and pricing scandals, Intermountain Healthcare and other hospitals formed a generic drug manufacturer, Civica Rx, in 2018 to produce generic drugs that are in short supply or highly priced. [12] [13] [14] [15] [16]

In October 2020, Intermountain Healthcare and Sanford Health signed an intent to merge. [17] The merger would make Sanford Health a subsidiary of Intermountain Healthcare 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]

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

Intermountain will rename itself Intermountain Health starting in 2023.

The COVID-19 pandemic began in the U.S. state of Utah in early March 2020 with travel-related cases. Residents stockpiled goods, large conferences were made remote-only, postponed, or cancelled; a state of emergency was declared, and some public universities and other colleges switched to online-only classes. After the first case of community spread was found on March 14, Utah faced a shortage of testing kits, and public schools were ordered to be closed. Community spread was confirmed in more counties, and the state issued a public health order prohibiting dine-in service in restaurants and gatherings of more than 10 people except in grocery stores. A 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck the Wasatch Front on March 18, 2020, hampering the pandemic response.
