Intermountain’s Heber Valley Hospital and Heber Valley Clinic now have a larger capacity for patients and surgeries after a completed expansion.
The hospital is now a third larger and bed capacity has been increased by 16%. The project added healthcare services and upgraded medical equipment capabilities.
One of the upgrades allows for telehealth in the facility. Si Hutt, an administrator at the hospital said all of the inpatient rooms now have monitors. Before, he said, patients would have to drive down to Salt Lake City for certain specialized services.
We are able to keep some of those patients locally and just consult that specialist in, Hutt said. We have that available for infectious disease, wound care, oncology and nephrology as well. And then we also provide that service in the emergency department.
