NEWS ---PAGE BREAK--- Announcements PUBLIC MEETINGS Planning Commission Wed., 4/20/22, 5pm City Hall, 3330 S 1300 E Join virtually HERE See agenda below Millcreek’s Very Own Hospital, St. Mark’s, Celebrates 150th MILLCREEK. We are very fortunate to have a high-quality hospital, St. Mark’s Hospital, right here in Millcreek. Founded by Bishop Rev. Daniel S. Tuttle of the Episcopal Diocese of Utah in 1872, St. Mark's was the first hospital in the Utah Territory. At that time, Salt Lake City was home to 12,000 residents, and growing fast. The hospital initially was located in an adobe structure at 500 East and 400 South in Salt Lake City. It moved to its present location in Millcreek (1200 E 3900 S) in 1973. The additions over the years of the Cardiac Catheterization Labs, the Diabetes Treatment Center, an expanded Emergency Department, the Women’s Pavilion and Labor and Delivery, and a Rehabilitation Center, continue to provide and expand state of the art treatment. St. Mark’s doctors, nurses and staff provide excellent care to those in need and remain committed to our community. A new patient tower is expected to open in 2023. Then and Now ---PAGE BREAK--- The new patient tower currently under construction is expected to be completed in 2023. Visit the St. Mark's website for additional information. Thank you St. Mark's Hospital for your dedication to our residents! Mayor Jeff Silvestrini discusses what 150 years of caring at St. Mark’s Hospital means to him, including the impact of the hospital as an employer in the city and as a partner to us, as well as his personal connections to the hospital. City Council Redistricting Process Is Nearing Completion The Millcreek City Council will soon vote on new city council district boundaries to account for the city’s new population counts as of the ---PAGE BREAK--- 2020 Census. This redistricting is required by state law. Over the past several weeks, Millcreek residents have shared their thoughts about the redistricting options in emails, an online survey, at community council meetings, and at a public hearing held on this past Monday, Apri 11th. Although the district boundaries must change because of growth, most residents who participated in public comments expressed a preference for keeping the districts as close as possible to the current district boundaries. However, many residents in the Mount Olympus area indicated that they would rather be in one district, not two. Click here for a compilation of survey responses and comments. With these responses in mind, along with the recommendtions of each of Millcreek's Community Councils, staff prepared a proposed redistricting map that keeps the District 1 and District 2 boundaries close to where they are now. In this proposed map, District 3 would encompass voters east of 1300 East to 3900 South, and west of 2000 East from 3300 South to 3900 South, and all of the Canyon Rim neighborhood to I-215. District 4 contains most of East Mill Creek, east of 2000 East, and all of the Mount Olympus neighborhoods – everything east of I-215. Here's the map, which presents a fourth option that the City Council will be considering. This map is a fourth option fthat the City Council will be considering for redistricting. ---PAGE BREAK--- We still encourage you to look at this as well as the three other options found on the Millcreek website, and send your comments to [EMAIL REDACTED]. The City Council will vote on a map at their meeting on Monday, April 23. UFA FIREFIGHTERS PERFORM HEARTWARMING SERVICES MILLCREEK. We love hearing about acts of service in Millcreek, especially by our first-responders. One such act of service was recently described on the Canyon Rim Dental Instagram page: "I was driving home the other day and passed by a home where the Millcreek firefighters were building a ramp into the home of a disabled elderly neighborhood member near the office. It touched me and I wanted to recognize them for their care, their concern, and their willingness to serve our community ---PAGE BREAK--- despite the inherent danger involved. "PLEASE SHARE: If anybody knows a member of the Millcreek firefighter organization tell them that they get a free exam and cleaning at Canyon Rim Dental. Not all good deeds go unnoticed!"
