June 16, 2023 – Intermountain Health is opening a new Intermountain Surgery Center on the campus of The Orthopedic Specialty Hospital-TOSH in Murray, which will specialize in outpatient orthopedic procedures for hips, knees, and spinal procedures among other orthopedic treatments.
This is the seventh ambulatory surgery center (ASC) Intermountain has opened in Utah. An additional eight surgery centers are planned by 2024.
The state-of-the-art facility includes eight operating rooms. Patients will enjoy spacious recovery rooms after their procedures are finished, where they can relax until it’s time to go home.
An ASC specializes in select procedures outside of a hospital setting, which allows them to be streamlined because the same procedure is done over and over. This reduces wait times and allows people to get home faster.
Because patients go home the same day, an ASC doesn’t have to have the same volume of staff and equipment to handle overnight stays, which helps lowers the overall cost of surgical care.
Procedures at the new Intermountain Surgery Center on TOSH Campus will begin in mid-July.
