We are expanding access to high-quality care in Cache Valley with the opening of the new Intermountain East Logan Clinic. Located at 550 East 1400 North on the Intermountain Logan Regional Hospital campus, the new clinic specializes in family medicine and geriatric care. Ryan Allen, MD, who previously practiced in Cache Valley, is joining the clinic team as a primary care physician. “I’m thrilled to be serving patients back here in the valley, and I look forward to helping meet the needs of this community,” said Dr. Allen. Doctors began seeing patients on June 4. “We’re excited to open this new primary care location which will significantly increase access for patients in Cache Valley,” said, Jana Huffman, Intermountain’s market vice president of medical group operations in Northern Utah. “Our new geriatrician, Dr. Landon Watts, is also joining us this fall, and his arrival marks an important step in bringing specialized care for older adults to the Cache Valley.”
School may be out for summer, but that didn’t stop teens receiving cancer treatment at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital from enjoying one of the biggest traditions of high school – prom night. Because some young cancer patients aren’t always well enough to go to their high school prom, caregivers at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital brought a special prom night to them. This year’s theme was The Wizard of OZ. Intermountain Health cancer center caregivers converted conference rooms into a sparkling dance hall, complete with food, a DJ, prom photos, and many other experiences thanks to community generosity. “Cancer robs children of the many experiences that make up a childhood because they’re going through treatment,” said Caroline Dolan, a social worker at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital. “Our team at Primary Children’s knows how important it is in the healing process for kids to have normal experiences, and that’s why they work so hard to make this prom special.”

Intermountain Health leaders and caregivers held a special groundbreaking ceremony last week for our newest facility in southwest Utah, the Desert Color Parkway Clinic - Primary Care, which will increase access to vital medical services for area residents. The new Intermountain primary clinic will serve as immediate need for the growing St. George community. The 35-acre lot will also provide space for a future medical campus to expand to include a freestanding emergency department after the opening of the Primary Clinic. The Desert Color development is becoming a pivotal community area with retail stores, entertainment, offices, restaurants, and recreational selections. Desert Colors is already building into a hub for the major population growth that St. George, and surrounding cities, have seen and projected to come for the foreseeable future. “This is our longstanding commitment to the community of our mission of helping people live the healthiest lives possible,” said Natalie Ashby, president of St. George Regional Hospital and the Southwest market for Intermountain Health. “This area has been growing immensely, and we are working to make healthcare as accessible as we can.”
A legacy of caregiving is currently in the making at Garfield Memorial Hospital in Panguitch, Utah as a dedicated group of three nurses and a medical assistant is making a difference—not just as caregivers, but as family. Three sisters, Makenzee Curtis, Tanielle Ramsay, and McCall Blood, along with their cousin, Shantae Miller, have all chosen a healthcare path inspired by each other, their own deeply personal health experiences, and a shared love for their hometown.
Meghan Fitzgibbons, practice director for cardiovascular services in Las Vegas at Intermountain Health, has been named to Vegas Inc.’s prestigious 40 Under 40 list! Fitzgibbons' career with Intermountain began in 2023 as the first nurse manager for cardiology in Nevada, before she quickly found herself in leadership roles in cardiology for Intermountain's Desert Region – which serves Nevada and Southwest Utah. Her focus on her career and leadership has been about helping ease the burdens from her teams to keep focus on patient care. “As rewarding as working at the front lines of healthcare can be, it’s also very hard work. Simplifying processes and removing barriers to make it as easy as possible my teams to do their jobs, to achieve clinical excellence, and be able to spend as much meaningful face time with patients and their families as possible is my goal,” Fitzgibbons said.
