April 17, 2023 – Mountain View Hospital and Idaho Falls Community Hospital are excited to welcome Intermountain Health as a minority investor in both organizations. Mountain View Hospital and Idaho Falls Community Hospital are equally committed to providing Idahoans with access to high-quality, affordable care. The new partnership with Intermountain Health is a testament to that commitment and will expand community members access to specialists across the West, while keeping the Idaho Falls-based hospitals locally owned and managed.
Intermountain Health is a nonprofit health system of 33 hospitals and 385 clinics located in seven mountain-region states. Intermountain Health has become an industry leader in using evidence-based care to deliver high-quality outcomes at sustainable costs.
The partnership will allow Mountain View Hospital and Idaho Falls Community Hospital to tap into Intermountain Health’s highly trained specialists and vast system of resources. The goal will always be to provide the best possible care close to home. However, extremely sick patients, such as those needing an organ transplant, will be able to quickly access treatment at Intermountain Health’s Utah facilities if needed. Healthcare providers from Mountain View Hospital and Idaho Falls Community will also have opportunities to train at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital and Intermountain Medical Center, both Level 1 Trauma Centers in Salt Lake City. The collaboration between the three healthcare organizations is designed to improve patient outcomes.
Mountain View Hospital and Idaho Falls Community Hospital will retain full control of their day-to-day operations under the new partnership. Intermountain Health will provide strategic guidance to both organizations.
