What Sets Us Apart

Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, Utah is the only designated Level II Trauma Center between the Salt Lake Valley and St. George. Situated in the heart of Utah County, our expert physicians, nurses, and care teams are specially trained to treat a wide range of patients, from those with the most severe injuries or illnesses to those undergoing a routine surgery or delivering a baby. Utah Valley is licensed for 395 beds. It houses a 46-bed emergency department and is home base for a Life Flight crew 24/7. The hospital is a designated Stroke Center of Excellence and maintains Utah County’s only medical hyperbaric chambers. More than 4,400 babies are born each year at the hospital, and our Newborn ICU physicians provide advanced neonatology care to struggling infants across central and southern Utah. We are accredited by the Joint Commission, complying with the highest national standards for safety and quality of care. We are also committed to improving the overall health of our local communities.
Intermountain Cancer Center – Utah Valley Hospital 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.
