Three Intermountain Health hospitals recently ranked among the Top 50 heart hospitals in the nation for 2025, according to a new national study of heart hospitals in America by Premier Inc. Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, Intermountain McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden, and Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital, all made the list due to their quality of care, outcomes, and patient experience, among other criteria. According to the study, if hospitals around the country had similar marks to those making the Top 50 list, it could mean 14,000 fewer deaths, 28,600 fewer bypass and angioplasty patients suffering complications, and save more than 1.5 billion dollars for inpatient costs in 2025.
