History and leadership

Learn more about our history and leadership team 

Orem Community Hospital opened in 1981 as a maternity hospital. In 1986, a 13,000-square-foot expansion makes Orem Community Hospital a full-service hospital with an emergency room, Women's Center, medical surgical, laboratory, X-ray, and health education services.

The Central Orem Health Center addition was completed in 1995, along with the addition of an Intermountain WorkMed unit and the Utah Valley Pediatric Rehabilitation Center. The beautification of the campus began with the addition of a jogging path around the campus and soccer fields in conjunction with Orem City.

In 2014, Orem Community Hospital received a facelift, updating the look of the main entrance and clinic. With a commitment to encourage neighbors in Orem and Vineyard to live their healthiest lives, the hospital opened a community garden in 2015. The annual Harvest Good Health Festival was launched to celebrate the garden and provide healthy activities and screenings. MRI services were added with the acquisition of a free-standing facility a few blocks from the hospital campus in 2017.

In 2020, Orem Community quickly responded to rapidly emerging needs during the Covid-19 pandemic. Offering space and staffing, along with leveraging community partnerships, to provide accessible testing to a diverse community. Construction has recently begun on the expansion of pediatric rehab clinic and the lactation clinic was relocated to the main hospital for ease of use by mothers.
