History

Orem Community Hospital opened in 1981 as a maternity hospital, and after five years and a 13,000-square-foot (1,200 m²) expansion OCH became a full-service hospital, with an emergency room, Women's Center, medical surgical, laboratory, x-ray and health education services.

In 1995, the Central Orem Health Center addition was completed along with a WorkMed unit and the Utah Valley Pediatric Rehabilitation Center. A beautification of the campus began with the addition of a jogging path around the campus and soccer fields in conjunction with Orem City.^{[2] [3] [4]}
