Hospital Leadership Organizational Changes
Once again, University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics was recognized nationally, regionally, and locally for our excellence. 2019 is shaping up to be another busy year with many major on-going initiatives across our health system: a new Acute Care Complex, the Craig H. Neilsen Rehabilitation Hospital, Sugar House Health Center, and other strategic projects.
