When care starts by listening, everything else can follow. When Johnny Gilmore came to Intermountain Health, he and his wife Helen were looking for answers to challenges that were impacting his daily life. At the Intermountain La Canada Cardiology Clinic in Las Vegas, Nevada, Johnny’s care team—led by Dr. Corey Lum—took the time to listen, understand his experience, and thoughtfully adjust his care plan to better support his needs. Through ongoing care and coordination, his treatment evolved in a way that reflected both his health and his goals. For Johnny and Helen, what stood out most was the experience of being seen, heard, and cared for every step of the way.
Intermountain Health Layton Hospital is celebrating the completion of a new mammography suite that will expand access to high-quality, advanced breast cancer screening for the Davis County community.

June is Men’s Health Awareness Month: a time to check in and take small, meaningful steps toward better health. But for many, getting care isn’t always simple. “Too often, men delay care because of busy schedules, stigma, or inconvenience,” said Mason Hilton, Intermountain Health Pharmacy Services operations director. "Our focus is on helping people live the healthiest lives possible. That means creating care options that feel approachable and removing obstacles so patients can act sooner—before small health concerns progress to chronic disease." By offering more flexible, on-demand options, we are helping make care more convenient, private, and easier to access. And by combining clinical expertise with modern technology, we continue to lead the way in delivering accessible, high-quality care that fits into everyday life.

Stories like Jason’s highlight the heart of our work: partnering with patients and their loved ones so they can focus on healing, hope, and what matters most.
Behind every moment of care is a team ready to act. At Intermountain Health Spanish Fork Hospital, caregivers recently completed simulation training focused on mass transfusion protocol.

It’s a powerful example of how preparation and teamwork support patients when it matters most.
