Our journey started in 1922 with a 35-bed facility in a large Salt Lake City, Utah home. In 1952 we moved to a 70-bed facility and with community donations, kept growing to 170 beds. By 1977, we teamed up with the University of Utah School of Medicine, adding in the benefits of what education can bring to care.
