Steward Health Care, the country’s largest physician-led, minority-owned, integrated health care system, today announced that it had completed the sale of its Utah health care sites to CommonSpirit Health, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Catholic Health Initiatives Colorado. The hospitals and clinics will be managed under Centura Health, the region’s leading health system. This strategic transaction allows for Steward to reinvest in its nationally recognized model of providing value-based care in communities across the other regions it operates.

Effectively immediately, Steward’s Utah health care sites – including five hospitals, over 35 medical group clinics, imaging and urgent care centers, and other outpatient ventures are part of CommonSpirit Health’s national health system. This includes Davis Hospital and Medical Center, Salt Lake Regional Medical Center, Jordan Valley Medical Center, Jordan Valley Medical Center-West Valley Campus, and Mountain Point Medical Center and associated clinics and outpatient centers.

“We are pleased to have found the right partner for our Utah hospitals,” said Brian Dunn, Regional President, Steward Health Care. “We are extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished in Utah since acquiring the system in 2017, and we want to extend our deep thanks to our colleagues whose commitment and excellence has made a difference to patients and the local community every day since.”

“This transaction continues Steward’s stated strategic plan to focus on and invest in value-based care. We look forward to increasing our presence and financial commitment in our holistic integrated care model, for which we continue to lead the industry,” said Ralph de la Torre, Chairman of Steward Health Care.
