Intermountain Health and West Valley City unveil plans for major new medical campus. Sep 15, 2026 Intermountain Health shares plans for nine-story, 235,000 square-foot for medical campus WEST VALLEY CITY, UT (PRUnderground) September 16th, 2026 Thanks to a major new medical campus planned by Intermountain Health, West Valley City and west Salt Lake County residents in Utah will soon have easier access to healthcare services. Intermountain Health has acquired the nine-story, 235,000 square-foot Fairbourne Building at 3535 Market Street, which is located on 8.5 acres in the heart of downtown West Valley City, from Wasatch Group. Leaders and caregivers from Intermountain Health joined with West Valley City Mayor Karen Lang and other city leaders on Tuesday to unveil plans for the new medical campus and how it will enhance the future of healthcare for residents in West Valley City and west Salt Lake County. The Fairbourne Building, one of the largest building complexes in the city, will be converted into a major healthcare hub and medical campus bringing vital medical services to the city, a move that will significantly expand access to healthcare in one of Utah's fastest growing communities. The new medical campus will reduce barriers to care for residents, improve patient convenience, and help ensure residents can more easily access vital healthcare services as the city continues to experience dramatic growth, they say. "As communities across Utah's west side continue to grow, the need for convenient access to healthcare has never been greater. Many families balance work, school, caregiving responsibilities, transportation challenges, and busy schedules that can make traveling across the valley for care difficult," said Heather Wall, president of Intermountain Health LDS Hospital. "By expanding services closer to home, we aim to reduce barriers to care, improve patient convenience, and help ensure residents can access the services they need when they need them the most." The Intermountain Health Fairbourne Campus, as the building will be named, will be a "one-stop" destination for a wide variety of medical services for area patients, including primary care, specialty care, and eventually, a freestanding emergency department. "This investment reflects our commitment to meet people where they are and expand access to high-quality care in a growing community," said Eric Liston, Intermountain Health's Canyons Region President. "As the needs of West Valley City and west Salt Lake County continue to evolve, we're focused on bringing more services closer to home, ensuring individuals and families can get the care they need, when and where they need it most." Located in the heart of West Valley City across the street from Valley Fair Mall and adjacent to a major TRAX hub and key transportation corridors, including 3500 South, I-215, and Bangerter Highway, the building's central location will make it easier for patients and families to reach care while reducing travel time and improving convenience for patients managing ongoing health needs. "We are thrilled to welcome Intermountain Health to West Valley City's Fairbourne Station City Center district," said West Valley City Mayor Karen Lang. "This new medical facility is a wonderful addition to our community. It will provide our residents with convenient access to outstanding healthcare close to home, which is vital, because when people have access to high-quality care, they are healthier, families are stronger, and communities are more resilient." For families, enhanced access to healthcare can mean greater opportunities to address health concerns before they become more serious. Planned services for the medical new campus include advanced imaging, ambulatory care, laboratory services, infusion treatments, outpatient services, specialty physician clinics, diagnostic services, rehabilitation services, pharmacy services, endoscopy services, and a future freestanding emergency department affiliated with Intermountain LDS Hospital. "West Valley City continues to experience tremendous growth, and we are committed to growing alongside the people and families who call this community home," said Ralph Jean-Marie, president of Intermountain Health's Utah Central Market. "Our focus remains on delivering exceptional care, improving access, and supporting the health and well-being of this community for generations to come." The building, which was originally designed for healthcare use when it was built in 2012, includes clinic space, infusion space, and an ambulatory surgery center. It has three built-out floors with six additional floors available for future expansion of the medical campus. The building's existing healthcare infrastructure, substantial size, and room for future expansion of the building provides flexibility to meet the community's growing healthcare needs for many years to come, say Intermountain leaders. The Intermountain Health Medical Group will have a significant presence on the campus, including clinics for medical providers in medical oncology, orthopedics, neurology, cardiology, gastroenterology, and rheumatology services. "Our vision is to create a convenient 'one-stop' healthcare hub where patients can access a broad range of services in a single visit located in the heart of West Valley City," said Trevor Cottam, vice president of Intermountain Health's Medical Group. Construction on the interior of the building is underway with the city and Intermountain working closely together on the campus. Several clinics and services will open later this year. The freestanding emergency department is planned to open in late 2027.

Intermountain Health to convert West Valley City building into new medical campus. Nine-story Fairbourne building originally designed for healthcare use when constructed in 2012. Published: Sept 15, 2026, 5:14 p.m. MDT View 1 Comment By Emily Ashcraft, KSL NEW: Try Article Audio Audio quality: | WEST VALLEY CITY - Intermountain Health announced a new medical campus on Tuesday "in the heart" of downtown West Valley City. The nonprofit healthcare organization said it acquired the nine-story Fairbourne building, one of the city's largest building complexes, and plans to convert it into a medical campus and "major healthcare hub." Eric Liston, president of Intermountain Health's canyons region, said the investment reflects a commitment to "meet people where they are" and expand access to care. "As the needs of West Valley City and west Salt Lake County continue to evolve, we're focused on bringing more services closer to home, ensuring individuals and families can get the care they need, when and where they need it most," he said. The building will be named the Intermountain Health Fairbourne Campus and will include primary care and specialty care services - including oncology, orthopedics, neurology, cardiology, gastroenterology and rheumatology. Construction inside the building is already ongoing, and multiple clinics and services are expected to open later this year. A freestanding emergency department affiliated with Intermountain Health's LDS Hospital is expected to open in late 2027. Heather Wall, president of LDS Hospital, said communities in western Utah are growing and there is a need for convenient healthcare access. She said she is excited for West Valley City families who can choose to have care there, noting that her husband grew up in the community which is now growing. "By expanding services closer to home, we aim to reduce barriers to care, improve patient convenience, and help ensure residents can access the services they need when they need them the most," she said. Wall said the outpatient care that will be provided at the Intermountain Health Fairbourne Campus "can be essential and life saving." "We could not be more excited about the location for where Intermountain Health services will be offered," she said. The Fairbourne building is located across the street from Valley Fair Mall and next to a TRAX hub and major roads like 3500 South, I-215 and Bangerter Highway, making access to the building convenient, a statement from Intermountain Health said. West Valley City Mayor Karen Lang said they are thrilled to welcome Intermountain Health, and the facility will be a "wonderful addition." "It will provide our residents with convenient access to outstanding healthcare close to home, which is vital, because when people have access to high-quality care, they are healthier, families are stronger, and communities are more resilient," she said. Lang said improving quality of life has been one of her biggest priorities, and providing more health care "so close to home" will do that. She said driving the extra 20 minutes to get care at Intermountain Medical Center or LDS Hospital can take a lot of the day, especially for those taking time off work. The mayor said they appreciate Intermountain Health's investment in the community. "Today is a very exciting day for West Valley City and the families who call this city home," she said. The building was originally designed for healthcare use when built in 2012 and already includes spaces designed for clinics, infusions and surgery. It has three floors that are built out and six that will be ready for future expansion based on the community's growing needs, Intermountain Health's statement said. Trevor Cottam, vice president of Intermountain Health's Medical Group, said the vision is a "one-stop" location with a range of services. Dr. Francisco Martinez, an oncologist with Intermountain Health from West Valley City, said the project is "deeply personal" to him. He said many families growing up including his were stretched, and sometimes health care falls to the bottom. He said that with frequent treatments, reducing travel time is important. "When someone is facing cancer, every added barrier can make an already overwhelming journey feel even heavier," he said. Looking for comments? Find comments in their new home!

'The seagulls will find a new home': Intermountain Health, SLC mayor unveil plans for new downtown LDS Hospital. Posted: Sep 2, 2026 / 12:08 PM MDT Updated: Sep 2, 2026 / 06:29 PM MDT SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) - Plans for a new LDS Hospital campus in downtown Salt Lake City, at the site of "Sears Lake," were unveiled by Intermountain Health and the Salt Lake City mayor on Wednesday morning. Intermountain Health, LDS Hospital, and the mayor came together to discuss the new development coming to Sears Block at 754 S State Street. Heather Wall, the president of LDS Hospital, shared her excitement for the move, but began by looking back at the hospital's history in Utah. She noted that the hospital opened its doors in 1905 and "hasn't closed them since." Wall recalled that what was then called the W.H. Groves Latter-day Saints Hospital was placed in the Avenues to be above smog from coal burning lower in the valley. "LDS Hospital has been the location for a lot of the city, state, and country's firsts in medical innovation, medical technology, best-in-class patient outcomes, and we've been doing that for the last 121 years," Wall shared. Now, Intermountain Health and LDS Hospital have procured 9 acres of land on Sears Block, with the plan to build a hospital that will address community need in the area and escape the limitations of its current location. Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall noted the importance of a hospital coming to this part of the city. "We've grown. Our population has grown, our economy has grown," Mendenhall explained. "And the needs of a downtown hospital are also growing, but extremely limited on the campus that they currently sit on up in our Avenues neighborhood." Wall noted that the location is centrally located, with access using nearby freeways, Utah Transit Authority buses, TRAX trains, and other modes of transportation. "There couldn't be a better location in the Salt Lake Valley for the city's first urban downtown hospital," Wall said of the new area in downtown. This location is the former site of Sears, which closed in 2018. Since then, it has been occupied by a large pit filled with water. Locals in the area often refer to the water as the Sears Lake, and Mayor Mendenhall addressed it as such with a laugh as she discussed the hospital on Wednesday. "Sure, it's the Sears Block, but it's also an iconic location that's anticipating positive change, and I know the seagulls will find a new home somewhere in downtown," Mendenhall shared. She later joked that the hospital's mascot should be a California seagull. While developing the hospital, community members and locals reached out to share comments, requests, and concerns. Wall recalled receiving a letter that led them to ask the community for guidance as they worked on plans. "They were things that we wanted to provide for our patients anyway. Things like green space on this block, things like a walkable campus, things like an outpatient pharmacy and accessibility to culinary services," she said of the requests from locals. The mayor noted that the city had a role in making sure that residents felt that the major project was considered with them in mind, and would be accessible rather than closed off nearby neighborhoods. "I really appreciate the work... of our partners at LDS Hospital and Intermountain," Mendenhall said. "...Projects of this scale are strongest when they're shaped by really thoughtful community input, and a real commitment to listening" Even local taco vendors had input, with Wall recalling that 90% of social media comments following the initial announcement were about where they would go. She stated that they worked out a design to include a culinary service space, and taco carts are welcome to park there and sell. "We're really excited to be a part of the downtown community; we're excited to add to the vibrancy and to the vitality of the downtown area," Wall added. The new LDS Hospital has been developed as a 10-story hospital building with more than 521,000 square feet of space and an attached seven-story medical office building. There will be a public plaza on the northwest corner, inviting the community to gather. "It's been an invigorating process to see the passion, the expertise, and the thoughtfulness that people have brought to the design of the new building. And you will feel it when you step through those doors and walk onto that campus to seek care," Doctor Harland Hayes, Chief Medical Officer at LDS Hospital, said. Currently, the plan for the construction is to break ground by the end of the year and work on building the hospital for the next three to five years. A timeline isn't set in stone, but Wall says they are hoping to open the hospital's doors as soon as possible. "We are grateful to the city; we are grateful to the State of Utah for partnering with us as we think through building a new hospital in this location," Wall said. "We are really excited for the next three to five years of construction, but more than that, we are really excited to open the doors to the new LDS hospital at this location" Additionally, while those already working at the LDS Hospital will maintain their roles as they move to the new campus, Wall said that new jobs will be created as new clinics and floors of the hospital are opened. "The legacy of LDS Hospital is not in the building; it's in the generations of caregivers who have given their lives and their careers to take care of the sick and the injured. And these people are coming with us, and they are going to carry that culture and that spirit of LDS Hospital to this new location," Dr. Hayes concluded. Intermountain Health notes that "no final decisions have been made" about the future use of the current Intermountain LDS Hospital in the Avenues. "It will continue to serve patients as a full-service community hospital while hospital leaders determine its long-term use when the new downtown hospital opens," Intermountain Health says.
