The Holy Cross Hospital - Salt Lake is a 158-bed hospital located in Salt Lake City, Utah. One of the few Catholic hospitals in Utah for over a century was sold by the Sisters of the Holy Cross in 1994 to the for-profit institution, HealthTrust. However, Salt Lake Regional Medical Center is now Holy Cross Hospital — Salt Lake after being bought by CommonSpirit Health Network in early 2023. This completes transitioning the name back to its original founding form.[citation needed]
Due to antitrust concerns raised by the Federal Trade Commission, the hospital was sold to Champion Healthcare Corporation in 1995.[1] However, the facility changed hands again in 1998 when Champion merged with Paracelsus Healthcare Corporation.[citation needed]
Subsequently, Iasis Healthcare managed the medical center between 2001 and September 2017. When it acquired Iasis, Steward Health Care began to maintain the hospital.[2][3]
In May 2023, Salt Lake Regional Medical Center was acquired by CommonSpirit Health.[4] The facility was one of the Utah hospitals purchased by the Catholic health care system maintained by Centura Health. Following the acquisition, the hospital was given its current name, Holy Cross Hospital - Salt Lake.[5]
History
[edit]
When the Holy Cross Hospital was founded in 1875 by the Sisters of the Holy Cross and Bartholomew, it had just thirteen beds and three doctors who worked without payment. It was the second hospital established in Utah. A chapel, designed by Carl M. Neuhausen, was added to the hospital in 1904. In 1976 Holy Cross Chapel was added to the state historic registry and now serves as a nondenominational interfaith sanctuary. Italian artist Achille Peretti painted the murals in 1909.[6]
