“At CommonSpirit, our mission calls us to relentlessly innovate so we can provide the highest standard of compassionate care to every person, including the most vulnerable,” said Andrew Gaasch, President of the CommonSpirit Mountain Region, which includes the five Utah CommonSpirit hospitals and clinics. “We look forward to welcoming �㽶��Ƶ of Utah Health providers to our hospitals and working alongside them as we improve population health and build a path to more accessible care along the Wasatch Front and beyond.”

With more than 26,000 faculty and staff, �㽶��Ƶ of Utah Health is the only academic health care system in the state of Utah and provides patient care for the people of Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, and much of Nevada. It is also the training ground for many of Utah's physicians, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, other health care professionals, and the next generation of researchers and scientists. CommonSpirit has care sites across 24 states and five operating regions—with its Mountain Region spanning across Utah, Colorado, and Kansas—and employs more than 1,000 skilled physicians and other providers as part of its team of approximately 16,000 employees. 

“We keep the patient at the center of everything we do and are proud to partner with CommonSpirit’s exceptional teams and hospitals to extend access for people in our communities and region,” said Michael L. Good, M.D., FNAI, CEO of �㽶��Ƶ of Utah Health and Senior Vice President for Health Sciences. “Working together, we will do what we all trained in health care to do—improve health and quality of life. We are proud to come together with the CommonSpirit providers and staff in that shared purpose. CommonSpirit’s commitment to compassionate care is inspiring, and we look forward to collaborating with such a dedicated organization.”  

CommonSpirit’s legacy of providing high-performing, compassionate care in Utah began more than 148 years ago, when the Sisters of the Holy Cross founded Holy Cross Hospital in Salt Lake City in 1875. It was the second hospital established in Utah, and it had just 13 beds and three doctors who worked without payment. CommonSpirit Health purchased its five Utah hospitals in 2023, returning them to their Catholic heritage and strengthening the values-driven health care offerings in Utah. Acting upon its vision of building a healthier future for all—inspired by faith, driven by innovation and powered by humanity—CommonSpirit has invested more than $100 million in its facilities and caregivers in Utah in the past 18 months.

�㽶��Ƶ of Utah Health's legacy of advancing medical education, research, and patient-centered care in Utah spans over 80 years, beginning with its establishment as the state’s only academic medical center. Founded in Salt Lake City in 1965, �㽶��Ƶ of Utah Health has grown from a single hospital to an expansive network, pioneering innovations in fields like genetics, cancer treatment, neurology, orthopedics, and cardiovascular care. As part of its mission, U of U Health is committed to training the next generation of health care providers and addressing the unique needs of Utah's communities. Today, U of U Health serves as a beacon of innovation, combining cutting-edge research with a compassionate approach to patient care, solidifying its role as a trusted leader in the region and nation.
