Intermountain Health and West Valley City Unveil Plans for Major New Medical Campus
Sep 16, 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.

Fathers take on more, but mothers still bear heavier domestic workload
For a 33-year-old bank employee surnamed Jung raising a 3-year-old son in Seoul’s Yeongdeungpo District, coming home from work feels like starting a second shift. She uses a reduced working hours program for parents to leave work an hour or two early. Once her mother-in-law, who looks after the child while the couple are at work, heads home, Jung handles child care alone until her husband returns. “As soon as I get home, I feed my son dinner, bathe him and play with him. By then, my husband is home,” she said. “While he plays with our son, I finally get to shower, wash the dishes and tidy up. Then it’s time to put our son to bed.” Jung gets her first chance to sit down on the sofa after her son falls asleep, past 10 p.m. “Even though I leave work early, it feels like I work overtime every day,” she said. “My husband does quite a lot of child care, but our son tends to seek me out more, and I feel that a larger share of the housework naturally falls to me.” Government figures released Monday show that an uneven division of domestic duties persists among young working pa
Gov't, businesses team up to help retired detection dogs find new homes
The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs last week joined Trinity Airways and Sono Pet Clubs & Resorts for a two-day pet adoption program, combining government support for retired detection dogs with private-sector assistance in event planning, accommodation and training. The Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency under the ministry provided guidance on adoption procedures and answered prospective owners’ questions. Trinity Airways, formerly T’way Air, organized the program, held Saturday and Sunday, while Sono Pet provided spaces for families and dogs to interact and rest, along with professional training support. Held at Sono Pet’s Vivaldi Park in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province, the program brought together three retired quarantine detection dogs and three prospective adoptive families selected through a screening process, according to the agency. The dogs were two English springer spaniels, aged 7 and 9, and a 9-year-old beagle. Activities included running together, treasure hunts and walks, giving participants opportunities to interact with the dogs. A trainer specializing
Finda to become 1st fintech firm to acquire savings bank
Finda, a loan comparison platform, is set to acquire a savings bank, in what would be a first for a Korean fintech company, as it looks to build an artificial intelligence (AI)-native bank, industry officials said Monday. The Financial Services Commission's subcommittee approved Finda's application to acquire Daewon Savings Bank on Friday. The regulator is set to make a final decision at its regular meeting Wednesday. Finda signed a deal in June to acquire all of Daewon Savings Bank's shares for about 12 billion won ($9 million). The acquisition would allow the company to move beyond matching borrowers with lenders and offer financial services directly, including loans and deposits. Once the deal receives final approval, Finda plans to appoint a new CEO through board and shareholder meetings. The fintech firm aims to turn the lender into an AI-native bank, relying on digital services rather than a traditional network of branches. It plans to draw on AI technology and loan-comparison data it has collected since 2019 to expand its online lending business nationwide, the firm said. The compa
Hyundai Rotem to acquire Hyundai Wia's defense unit for $252 mil.
Hyundai Rotem, a defense affiliate of Hyundai Motor Group, said Monday it will acquire Hyundai Wia's defense business for 358.4 billion won ($252 million) to strengthen its weapons production capabilities. Hyundai Rotem said in a regulatory filing that it plans to acquire Hyundai Wia's defense business, which manufactures key components for Korea's K9 self-propelled howitzers and K2 main battle tanks. The acquisition is expected to boost Hyundai Rotem's competitiveness in the global market by bringing more of its weapons production capabilities in-house, particularly for its flagship K2 tanks. In August 2025, the company signed a $6.5 billion follow-up contract to supply K2 tanks to Poland. Five months later, it reached a comprehensive agreement with Peru to supply 195 ground weapons systems, including 54 K2 tanks. For Hyundai Wia, the sale is part of broader restructuring efforts to shift its focus toward future mobility technologies, including vehicle electrification and software-defined vehicles (SDVs). The company plans to use the proceeds from the sale to invest in new growth areas,
Global AI & Digital Summit kicks off 3-day run in Seoul
A global event aimed at exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation can deliver practical development gains kicked off its three-day run in Seoul on Monday, the science ministry said. The Global AI & Digital Summit, co-hosted by the ministry and the World Bank Group — a family of five institutions that makes leveraged loans to developing countries —brought together government officials from some 60 nations, as well as development partners, private sector leaders and researchers. This year marks the first time the summit was held outside of the United States, the ministry added. The event will begin with an AI and Digital Ministerial meeting, co-chaired by Science Minister Bae Kyung-hoon and Kim Sang-bu, the vice president for digital and AI at the World Bank Group, followed by policy forums and exhibitions from participating companies. Korea has been hosting the AI and digital ministerial meeting since 2005, with the most recent gathering held last year on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) forum.

When AI takes your side in a workplace conflict
Workplace conflict rarely arrives as a clean set of facts. By the time we decide that a manager is undermining us, a colleague is being deliberately difficult, or someone on the team cannot be trusted, we have usually spent some time interpreting what happened. We have noticed particular behaviours, connected them with earlier experiences, filled […] The post When AI takes your side in a workplace conflict appeared first on e27.
Faster, smarter, but more fragile? Rethinking communications resilience in Southeast Asia
