About the Organization

For 150 years, St. Mark's Hospital has provided a full spectrum of healthcare services to Salt Lake City and its surrounding communities. As Utah's first hospital, St. Mark's team members uphold a rich tradition of patient-centered, top-quality care at our 308-plus bed hospital. St. Mark's drives the development of some of the region's finest clinical service areas such as neurosciences, trauma, orthopedics, cardiac care, and robotic surgery. St. Mark's was named to the Fortune/IBM Watson Health 100 Top Hospitals® list, recognized for the eighth time as one of the top-performing Teaching Hospitals in the U.S.

St. Mark's has expanded emergency access to the communities it serves with two freestanding emergency centers: Taylorsville Emergency Center and West Valley Emergency Center. Both locations have 10-plus patient rooms and are staffed 24/7 by experienced board-certified emergency room physicians, nurses, and support teams from St. Mark's Hospital. In addition to ER care, both facilities offer comprehensive imaging services, including CT scan, X-ray, and ultrasound, as well as a fully equipped medical laboratory.

Nestled at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains, St. Mark's sits in a picturesque and ideal location. From the hospital doors, it's a quick commute to Salt Lake's urban and cultural benefits and a short drive to outdoor adventures and Utah's glorious national parks.

HCA Healthcare has been recognized as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies® by the Ethisphere Institute more than ten times. In recent years, HCA Healthcare spent an estimated $3.7 billion in cost for the delivery of charitable care, uninsured discounts, and other uncompensated expenses.
