          St. Mark's Hospital is proud to be Utah's first hospital. Serving our community since 1872.

          St. Mark's Hospital is proud to be Utah's first hospital. Serving our community since 1872.


          Bishop Rev. Daniel S. Tuttle of the Episcopal Diocese of Utah founded St. Mark’s Hospital in 1872. With 12,000 residents, Salt Lake City was growing and long overdue for an important addition—Utah’s first hospital. The original St. Mark’s had six beds, one physician and all male nurses. After opening its doors on April 30, 1872, St. Mark’s Hospital admitted 21 patients in the first month. Now, St. Mark’s Hospital touches hundreds of lives each day, and has a growing diverse group of colleagues and medical staff.
