July 26, 2023 – Three Intermountain Health hospitals are ranked among the best cancer hospitals in the nation by Newsweek magazine as part of the publication’s “America’s Best Cancer Hospitals” list for 2023.
Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, and Utah Valley Hospital in Provo have been named to Newsweek’s list of the nation’s premier cancer hospitals for the high-level of comprehensive and personalized care and treatment they provide to cancer patients.
The three hospitals are part of Intermountain Health’s integrated Cancer Centers, which are located throughout the Intermountain West. Of the approximately 13,000 new cancer patients in Utah, more than 7,000 received a diagnosis or treatment at Intermountain.
The Intermountain hospitals join the ranks of other cancer hospitals named to the list, including Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Cedars-Sinai, Rush University Medical Center and Johns Hopkins.
The Newsweek hospital rankings were compiled and awarded by the magazine and global research firm Statista based on three data sources: a nationwide online survey, hospital quality metrics, and patient experience data.
Intermountain Cancer Center locations provide an integrated, personalized approach to cancer treatment care close to home for patients, with clinics located throughout the Intermountain West, as well as tele-health services for patients.
Intermountain has developed 11 systemwide different disease-focused programs with large multi-disciplinary teams of physicians, nurses, therapists, genetic counselors, dietitians, and other expert staff who are all focused on each patient’s individualized treatment plan.
