CommonSpirit Health Partners with U of U to Boost Care Access and Resilience

CommonSpirit Health has formed a clinical collaboration with the University of Utah Health to improve access to medical care along the Wasatch Front, focusing on enhancing population health and care delivery. This partnership will facilitate closer cooperation between U of U Health providers and CommonSpirit hospitals, particularly benefiting vulnerable populations. The collaboration also aims to bolster cybersecurity resilience in light of recent challenges faced by CommonSpirit, including a ransomware attack that affected multiple facilities. With the acquisition of five hospitals in Utah earlier this year, CommonSpirit aims to strengthen its regional presence and leverage U of U Health's academic resources for better comprehensive care delivery.
