SARATOGA SPRINGS, Utah — Intermountain Health is expanding the depth and variety of care offered in Saratoga Springs.
One of the fastest growing areas in Utah, the northern Utah County area will soon be able to access specialized care for OB-GYN, general surgery, orthopedics, sports medicine, ear nose and throat, audiology, urology, cardiology, pediatrics, gastroenterology, and other medical services thanks to a new Intermountain Saratoga Springs Multi-Specialty Clinic.
“This area is growing, and Intermountain Health is pleased to be able to provide more specialty care in the area,” said Jason Wilson, Intermountain Health American Fork Hospital president.
Intermountain leaders joined with the community in breaking ground today on the new site, situated between the existing Intermountain Saratoga Springs Emergency Department and Intermountain Saratoga Springs Surgery Center, both of which were opened in November 2023.
The new Intermountain Health Saratoga Springs Cancer Center, which will be housed in the clinic, will provide medical oncology, radiation oncology, infusion therapy, and other cancer specialties.
“We are celebrating not because of a new building, but because we’re laying the foundation for something that will truly make a difference in this community,” said Bradon Barney, MD, Intermountain radiation oncology medical director. “Saratoga Springs continues to grow, and the need for high quality, accessible healthcare — especially cancer care — will grow with it.”
“Patients here will have access to the same cutting-edge technology that they would get in Salt Lake or at Utah Valley Hospital,” added Dr. Barney. “That includes retreatments with radiotherapy or chemotherapy. It includes in-office procedures and treatment planning. There’s not really going to be a disease site or a type of cancer that we won’t be able to treat here.”
At the event, cancer patient Laurie Stone described her own experience with and how the Intermountain Saratoga Springs Clinic will benefit residents like her. “We had to travel from Saratoga Springs to America Fork or Utah Valley Hospital. American Fork is about a 25-minute round trip from our house. Utah Valley is about 45 to 50 minutes. Some of the appointments were for testing and all the experiences that we went through to prepare to have the radiation. It was a lot.”
