About Intermountain Medical Center

Intermountain Medical Center began in 1997 to solve two challenges: Intermountain Healthcare's Cottonwood Hospital in Murray, UT, was aging and LDS Hospital, the company's flagship hospital at the time, was unable to expand.

Between 1999 and 2002, Intermountain purchased 100 acres of land at 5300 South State Street in Murray, an ideal site because of its central location in the heart of the Salt Lake Valley, close to numerous local and national transportation options.

After a 10-year planning and construction process, The Medical Center opened its doors on October 29, 2007.

At the center of all we do at the Medical Center is our intense focus on the patient.

Why work in the Operating Room?

Intermountain Medical Center's operating rooms may be the perfect unit for you In the Operating Room you won't have to care for multiple high acuity patients at once, instead you'll be able to focus all your attention, time and energy to one patient's care; easily one of the best aspects of surgical nursing.

We are a unit that fosters growth. We are passionate about patient safety. We foster a culture of safety in everything we do, like the pre-incision time-out' to verify patient identity and procedural consent, verifying implants before delivery to the field, safely positioning and ensuring proper padding, and pausing for enough help to safely transfer patients from bed to table.

The operating room offers you an opportunity to partner with our incredible surgeons, and forge strong connections. There is no better environment for physician and Advanced Practice Provider interaction than inside an operating room.

You'll enjoy your first assigned 40-minute lunch break And you'll be absolutely delighted when your relief arrives before shift change, you give your hand-off, and you find yourself on your way home right on time The schedule is truly a cherry on top of a delicious slice of life here at Intermountain Medical Center's Operating Room.
