Academics in Action
Since our humble beginnings as a two-year medical school in 1905, University of Utah Health has grown to become the only academic medical center serving the Mountain West. With five schools and colleges, the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library, five hospitals and 11 community health care centers, 24,000 dedicated team members, a $428 million research enterprise, and a 253,000-member health plan, we have a clear and exciting path forward.
Our system has grown by 33% in the last five years, training 1,460 health care providers in 2021 and contributing $208 million in community philanthropic support. We’re also proud that our efforts create a significant economic contribution to the state of Utah including directly and indirectly supporting 47,500 jobs and infusing $3.9 billion into the Utah economy.
