History

In 1951, voters in Tooele County approved a bond for the construction of a county hospital, which was completed in 1953 on the south side of Tooele City and named the Tooele Valley Medical Center. "From 1953 to 1980 the center was managed by the county under the direction of an administrator." [3] Management of the hospital changed several times over the subsequent years.

In 2002 the old center was replaced by a newly constructed hospital on the north side of the city built by Community Health Care Systems, who by that time had purchased the old medical center and sold it to Rocky Mountain Care. The new hospital, called Mountain West Medical Center, opened in May 2002. [4]

In 2016 the hospital came under the management of Quorum Health Corporation as part of a hospital spinoff by Community Health Care Systems. [5] In 2019 the hospital became affiliated with the University of Utah Health, which made additional resources and services available to patients of the hospital. [6]
