Intermountain Health announced Wednesday that LDS Hospital will be relocated to downtown Salt Lake City after over a century in the city's Avenues neighborhood, according to KSL. The new campus will be built on the site known as "Sears Lake," a largely vacant lot near downtown.
Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall joined Intermountain executives to unveil the plans. The hospital has operated in the Avenues since the 1890s. What will happen to the existing hospital site remains unclear.
LDS Hospital is owned and operated by Intermountain Health, a major healthcare system in the Intermountain West with historic ties to the LDS Church.
