New Hospital in Draper Will Add to Utah's Indefatigable Healthcare Industry

Utah's healthcare industry is unflagging, which has averaged approximately 4 percent employment growth over the past 15 years, despite two recessions.Now, a new hospital under construction in Draper will add to employment growth in the industry, while residents there and in surrounding communities will enjoy easier access to quality healthcare services come the fall of 2013, when MountainStar Healthcare completes its new 30-bed, 100,000 square-foot hospital on the MountainStar Lone Peak Medical Campus.

Officials from MountainStar say the new hospital will bring much-needed inpatient services to South Valley communities, especially in the areas of obstetric care and surgery services. The hospital will also create much-needed jobs -- approximately 300 of them -- as MountainStar expands its existing outpatient diagnostic services to better serve local patients. Utah Policy
