Intermountain Health to convert West Valley City building into new medical campus

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. Later, they will add a freestanding emergency department.

It 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.
