About Intermountain Medical Center

Intermountain Medical Center is committed to serving the medical needs of Salt Lake County residents in Murray, Utah.

What sets us apart

Typical high-end hospitals across the country were designed as “big boxes,” packed with technology and resources. Intermountain Medical Center contains five interconnected centers of excellence, including women’s/newborn care, heart/lung care, emergency/trauma care, outpatient care, and cancer care.

At the center of all we do at the Medical Center is our intense focus on the patient. From the different advanced services provided, to the layout of our campus, and our use of the latest technologies, it’s all designed to create the best care and healing environment around. In short, it’s our goal to provide the absolute best patient experience.

Intermountain Cancer Center – Intermountain Medical Center successfully attained accreditation from the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) APEx - Accreditation Program for Excellence®. APEx provides external validation that a radiation oncology facility is delivering high-quality patient care. APEx is a voluntary, objective, and rigorous multi-step process during which a radiation oncology practice is evaluated using consensus-based standards. As part of that evaluation, we demonstrated our safety and quality processes and showed that we adhere to patient-centered care by promoting effective communication, coordinated treatments and strong patient engagement.

History and leadership

Learn more about our history and leadership team

Planning for Intermountain Medical Center began in 1997 to solve two challenges: Intermountain Healthcare's Cottonwood Hospital in Murray, UT, was aging and LDS Hospital, the company's flagship hospital at the time, was unable to expand. Between 1999 and 2002, Intermountain purchased 100 acres of land at 5300 South State Street in Murray, an ideal site because of its central location in the heart of the Salt Lake Valley, close to numerous local and national transportation options. After a 10-year planning and construction process, The Medical Center opened its doors on October 29, 2007.
