In an emergency, time matters. St. Vincent Healthcare in Billings, MT, now part of Intermountain Health, is committed to ensuring Montanans and Wyomingites have quick access to the critical, lifesaving care they need when they need it most. That's why, in August of last year, St. Vincent chose to become the first hospital in Montana to officially apply for Level I Trauma Center verification under the American College of Surgeons (ACS), with a goal of becoming the State of Montana's very first Comprehensive Trauma Center in early 2024. St. Vincent is currently in the review process from the ACS and anticipates the results of the review at the end of 2023. "We know there is an opportunity for us to continue to enhance and expand the trauma and emergency services we provide. The decision to apply for Level I Trauma is about providing the best care to our community in our community, whenever possible, keeping our patients close to home and continuing to be the hospital of choice," shared Jen Alderfer, president, St. Vincent Healthcare and Montana |Wyoming Market for Intermountain.

Nine Intermountain Health cancer centers are the first in Utah to earn accreditation from the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), APEx- Accreditation Program for Excellence – an objective external validation that a radiation oncology facility is delivering high-quality patient care. The nine Intermountain cancer centers are among only 200 facilities nationwide to earn APEx accreditation. The Utah sites join two additional Intermountain Health cancer centers in Colorado to hold this accreditation. Those are Cancer Centers of Colorado at St. Mary’s Medical Center in Grand Junction, accredited since 2018, and Lutheran Medical Center in Wheat Ridge, accredited since 2016. “The accreditation process is a very rigorous, multi-step process that took more than a year to complete,” said Craig Nielsen, director for radiation oncology at Intermountain Health. “We evaluated all our policies and procedures using objective, evidence-based performance measures in radiation oncology.”
