St. Mark's Hospital has completed its five-story Patient Tower, an expansion of the hospital that has been in the works for the last several years. A ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier this week marked the grand opening. Mayor Jeff Silvestrini, Councilmember Cheri Jackson and many Millcreek staff members were honored to join hospital officials in welcoming the finished project, which is located on 3900 S between 11th and 13th Easts. ---PAGE BREAK--- The new Patient Tower, containing more than 125,000 sq.ft. of new and 42,000 sq.ft. of renovated space, has the following amenities and facilities: First Floor: Registration Coffee shop Reconfigured ER waiting room Second Floor: Same-day surgery Endoscopy Cath lab recovery unit Third Floor: Intensive care unit Fourth Floor: Progressive care unit Fifth Floor: Med/Surg unit St. Mark's Hospital was the first hospital in the Salt Lake Valley, started the first nursing program in the area, and upon re-location into Millcreek in 1973, was the first hospital to provide private patient rooms. Those rooms, however, have proven over the years to be too small to accommodate the new generation of medical equipment. In the new patient ---PAGE BREAK--- tower, the rooms have been designed to be adequate for any medical need as well as allowing for a better experience for patients, their family, and visitors. Mayor Silvestrini serves on the Board of Directors of St. Mark's as a representative of our community. In his remarks at the ribbon cutting, Mayor Silvestrini thanked everyone involved in the hard work of creating this beautiful building, including HCA Healthcare, Mountain Star Healthcare, and Millcreek's Economic, Planning, and Building Departments. He also acknowledged the members of the Unified Fire Department who bring critical patients to the hospital to receive life-saving medical care. St. Mark's is an amazing partner to our city. We are thrilled to see this incredible new expansion that will help those in need all over the county. ---PAGE BREAK--- Mayor Silvestrini and Councilmember Jackson at the St. Marks ribbon cutting with some of the city staff who worked with St. Mark's through the construction process.

We know many of our residents love hiking in our foothills and are enjoying the new Bonneville Shoreline Trail connection but please, as you are hiking remember that just down the hill are private homes whose backyards may or may not be fenced. There also exist many illegal user created trails running down to the streets below. Use of these trails will inevitably bring you onto private property where you will be trespassing. Stay on the main trail and if you hike with your dog, be sure it stays with you and does not run down into someone's yard.
