March 20, 2026- Intermountain Health Cedar City Hospital held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and community open house for the hospital’s newly expanded emergency department and molecular imaging services center, which are designed to enhance access to care for residents.
The new emergency department significantly enhances access to life-saving emergency care at the Level IV Trauma Center. It enables the hospital to serve the growing needs of nearby communities, as well as millions of tourists and outdoor enthusiasts who visit nearby national parks and outdoor recreation areas.
The 4,500 square foot, $7 million dollar expansion, has nine more emergency rooms, for a total of 22 rooms, including three dedicated to patients with behavioral health needs. The ability to increase access to vital emergency care enables residents to stay close to home for their care.
