Part of what makes Intermountain Healthcare effective in serving the community is that its hospital boards are made up of community members. Trustees work together, volunteering their time and abilities without pay for the good of patients and the community.

Trustees are business owners, educators, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, civic leaders, healthcare experts, and homemakers. Whether they serve on our central Board, Governing Boards, or charitable foundation boards, our volunteer trustees direct Intermountain’s operations and ensure we act in the best interests of the community.

The Intermountain Healthcare Foundation is an endowment established by Intermountain Healthcare to provide grants to not-for-profit agencies that promote health.

The Intermountain Community Care Foundation is an independent foundation established in 1996 to provide financial support to health clinics for the low-income, uninsured, and homeless populations. Intermountain Healthcare participates in the foundation and contributed the funds to create the endowment.

Intermountain Healthcare and its hospitals operate as charitable 501(c)3 institutions. Fourteen hospital-affiliated foundations are qualified to receive tax-deductible donations from individuals, community organizations, and corporations. Donations are gratefully received and enhance our ability to provide charity care, leading-edge technology, research, and new facilities that become part of the community.

This list of trustees includes members as of April 1, 2009.

Did You Know?

More than 450 people serve as trustees of Intermountain Healthcare. They serve on our central Board of Trustees, on our hospital and division Governing Boards, and on the boards of our charitable foundations. These trustees serve without pay, offering their experience and expertise to guide Intermountain. Their duties include:

  • Serving on committees to address needs that arise—from budget issues to policies and community involvement.
  • Ensuring facilities and equipment are in good shape, and reviewing proposed building projects or other capital expenditures.
  • Serving as liaisons between the community and Intermountain.
