Intermountain Health
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.
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.
In 1982, Intermountain Health began providing non-hospital services, including clinics and home healthcare.
In 2006, Intermountain renamed its health insurance plan "SelectHealth" and formalized the separate management of its insurance operations.
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." According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, Utah's per capita spending on healthcare is 44 percent below the national average.
Intermountain Health announced that beginning in 2011, it would offer health insurance benefits for its employees' domestic partners.
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.
In early October 2020, Intermountain Health acquired Saltzer Health of Idaho from Tommy Ahlquist following a failed acquisition of Saltzer Health by St. Luke's Boise Medical Center.
