FHLA Site Visit: Intermountain Healthcare


On March 24th, the Future Healthcare Leaders of America visited with Mr. Bill Nelson, CEO of Intermountain Healthcare. We met at Intermountain's corporate board room in downtown Salt Lake City. Intermountain Healthcare is a not for profit health system based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The system employs over 28,000 employees and is comprised of 21 hospitals, a health plan, physicians, and clinics. Intermountain is recognize for clinical excellence in medical care.

Mr. Nelson provided some excellent advice about careers, excellence in healthcare, and the future of healthcare. He described Intermountain's mission, vision, and values. The history of Intermountain includes being a donation to the community in 1975 by a religious organization. The ability to monitor and report on clinical processes is the key to success in providing the best medical care at the lowest possible cost.

Our thanks to Mr. Nelson for his advice and time.
