The hospital serves Cache Valley, including Cache County, Utah and Franklin County, Idaho, and western Wyoming. Logan Regional's mission is "Excellence in the provision of healthcare services to communities in the Intermountain region."[3] The hospital services include a Level III Trauma Center, Cancer Center, Women and Newborn Center, digital imaging services, and heart catheterization services.

History

The predecessor to Logan Regional Hospital, and Cache Valley's first hospital, was built in 1914. The William Budge Memorial Hospital was a 50-bed facility that offered operating rooms and maternity care. In 1948, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints acquired Cache Valley's two hospitals, The Budge Memorial Hospital and Cache Valley General Hospital, as part of the Church's health system.[5] In 1975, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints turned over its system of 15 hospitals, including Logan LDS Hospital, to the communities they served. A secular, non-profit health care system, Intermountain Healthcare was formed to operate the hospital system. Logan LDS Hospital was renamed Logan Hospital. The hospital relocated in 1980 to a larger, more modern facility where they continue to operate. Since relocating, Logan Regional has added the Intermountain Budge Clinic (opened in 2000) to the hospital campus, a Women and Newborn Center (opened in 2007), and a Cancer Center (opened in 2008).[5]
