History Intermountain Health was founded on April 1, 1975, after the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints donated fifteen hospitals, as a system, to the intermountain community. In 1982, Intermountain Healthcare began providing non-hospital services such as clinics and home healthcare. In 2006, Intermountain renamed its health insurance plan "SelectHealth" and formalized the separate management of the insurance side of the organization. In 2009, Intermountain Healthcare was identified as a healthcare model by President Barack Obama, "We have long known that some places, like the Intermountain Healthcare in Utah. . ., offer high-quality care at a cost below average." According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, Utah's per capita spending on healthcare is 44 percent below the national average. Intermountain Healthcare announced that beginning in 2011, it would offer health insurance benefits for its employees' domestic partners. Intermountain Healthcare operates 25 hospitals in Utah and Idaho. Intermountain also operates 225 clinics and urgent care facilities in Utah, Idaho, and Nevada, 160 of which are run by physicians as part of the Intermountain Medical Group. In total, Intermountain Healthcare employs about 2,800 physicians and advanced practice providers. Intermountain also provides insurance to nearly one million people in Utah, Idaho, and Nevada. It is also the largest private employer in Utah.
