History

The predecessor to Logan Regional Hospital, and Cache Valley's first hospital, was the William Budge Memorial Hospital. Built in 1914, it was a 50-bed facility that offered operating rooms and maternity care. In 1948, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints acquired Cache Valley's two hospitals, The Budge Memorial Hospital and Cache Valley General Hospital, as part of the church's health system.[5] In 1975, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints turned over its system of 15 hospitals, including Logan LDS Hospital, to the communities they served. A secular, not-for-profit health care system, Intermountain Healthcare was formed to operate the hospital system. Logan LDS Hospital was renamed Logan Hospital. The hospital relocated in 1980 to a larger, more modern facility where they continue to operate. Since relocating, Logan Regional has added the Intermountain Budge Clinic (opened in 2000) to the hospital campus, a Women and Newborn Center (opened in 2007), and a Cancer Center (opened in 2008).[5] In 2015, Logan Regional Hospital and the Budge Clinic expanded its facility by 154,000 square feet.[6]
