A second major medical building is coming to West Valley City.
Intermountain Health announced on Sept. 15 its plans to open a new medical campus in the Fairbourne Building, located near the city government center at 3535 Market St. The 235,000-square-foot building will be converted into “a major healthcare hub and medical campus,” according to a news release.
This comes as construction continues on the University of Utah’s Eccles Health Campus on 5600 West, near Centennial Park. That facility is looking at an opening date in 2028.
“As communities across Utah’s west side continue to grow, the need for convenient access to healthcare has never been greater. Many families balance work, school, caregiving responsibilities, transportation challenges, and busy schedules that can make traveling across the valley for care difficult,” said Heather Wall, president of Intermountain Health LDS Hospital, in a release. “By expanding services closer to home, we aim to reduce barriers to care, improve patient convenience, and help ensure residents can access the services they need when they need them the most.”
The new building will be named the Intermountain Health Fairbourne Campus. West Valley City Mayor Karen Lang, who was at the announcement event, said “we are thrilled to welcome Intermountain Health to the Fairbourne Station City Center District. It will provide our residents with convenient access to outstanding healthcare close to home, which is vital, because when people have access to high-quality care, they are healthier, families are stronger, and communities are more resilient.”
Planned services for the medical new campus include advanced imaging, ambulatory care, laboratory services, infusion treatments, outpatient services, specialty physician clinics, diagnostic services, rehabilitation services, pharmacy services, endoscopy services, and a future freestanding emergency department affiliated with Intermountain LDS Hospital.
Construction on the interior of the building is underway with the city and Intermountain working closely together on the campus. Several clinics and services will open later this year. The freestanding emergency department is planned to open in late 2027.
