Linda Petersen, The Draper Journal
By the end of July, Draper will have its first, full-service hospital. On July 31, Lone Peak Hospital will open its doors to the community. The general public is invited to tour the new facility on July 29 between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m.

The 100,000-square-foot facility will have 30 beds and will provide inpatient services, maternity, orthopedic and surgical care, in addition to basic and emergency services.
The construction of the hospital was the second phase of MountainStar Healthcare’s “phased growth plan” for the site. Hospital officials said the ongoing goal is to meet, but not exceed the area’s increasing healthcare needs over time.
The community has been served by a freestanding satellite emergency department at 11180 South State Street since December 2010.
Lone Peak Primary Care and General Surgery opened in June 2011.
“We set out to build a facility that supports our intention to deliver a high quality, personal experience for every patient who comes through our doors,” Lone Peak Hospital CEO Mark Meadows said. “That goal influenced every detail of our new hospital.”
Lone Peak Hospital Features:
•Four large surgical suites that surgeons will perform ear-nose-and-throat and general surgeries as well as gynecological and orthopedic procedures.
•Advanced surgical technologies, including cameras located in overhead lights that display surgeries on a large monitor for the anesthesiologists, nurses and technicians who are assisting the surgeon.
•A surgery unit with four large intermediate care rooms for patients recovering from medium-to-more-complex surgical procedures. Sixteen additional rooms are available for patients who have undergone minor surgery.
•An obstetrical unit shaped like a horseshoe, with a nurse’s station and medical supplies located in the middle.
•Ten large, home-like rooms where new mothers can labor, deliver babies, and recover from childbirth.
•State-of-the-art labor monitoring systems so that mothers in labor can walk around while nurses can keep a close watch on the birthing process.
•Two rooms with Jacuzzi tubs for women in labor.
Expanded diagnostic imaging services, with ultrasound, digital mammography and bone density scans to better serve women.
