Cedar City Hospital reports growth; Intermountain funds $4 million Canyon View Clinic for Parowan
Summary
Cedar City Hospital leaders reported service-line growth and community benefits exceeding $90 million and announced Intermountain Health will fully fund a new $4 million Canyon View Clinic in Parowan, replacing the trailer clinic and adding on-site X-ray with a targeted late-summer 2027 completion.
Cedar City Hospital President Jamison Robinett told the Parowan City Council that the hospital has seen growth across emergency, surgical and maternity services and provided more than $9 million in outright charity care last year; when broader community-benefit programs and uncollected debt are included, the hospital’s total community benefit exceeds $90 million.
"Our Community Health Needs Assessment identified behavioral health access, social determinants of health, and increasing access to care as top priorities for the region," Robinett said, and he emphasized ongoing efforts to address suicide prevalence among working‑aged males in Iron County.
Shay Grossen, Executive Director of Primary Care, confirmed that Intermountain Health has fully funded a new $4 million Canyon View Clinic to be built at 100 West and 200 South in Parowan. She said the clinic will replace the existing trailer facility, will include on‑site X‑ray and expanded services, and that a groundbreaking is anticipated within several months with project completion targeted for late summer 2027.
Mayor Mollie Halterman and the Council received the announcement with applause; Councilmember David Burton asked whether the cancer center is affiliated with Huntsman Cancer Institute, and Robinett clarified that the Cedar City facility operates independently within the Intermountain Health network and ranks among the system’s busiest.
The hospital also described capital plans of roughly $60 million over five years, a recently completed emergency department expansion that produced a reported 10% increase in ER volumes and a 20% decrease in wait times, and a cancer center expansion expected to increase treatment capacity by about 25%.
