Intermountain Health breaks ground on new St. George clinic

WASHINGTON COUNTY, Utah (ABC4) — Intermountain Health broke ground today, May 30, on a new primary care clinic in southern Washington County. The new facility will serve an immediate need for the growing St. George community.

On Friday morning, the organization held a groundbreaking ceremony for its newest facility, the Desert Color Parkway Clinic – Primary Care, which will bolster access to medical services for locals. The clinic is expected to open by the summer of 2026.

The new clinic is built on a 35-acre lot, which will “provide space for a future medical campus to expand to include a freestanding emergency department after the opening of the Primary Clinic.”

Intermountain Health’s new lot is located directly southeast of exit 2 on I-15. The project will be managed by Jacobsen Construction.

“This area has been growing immensely, and we are working to make healthcare as accessible as we can,” said Natalie Ashby, president of St. George Regional Hospital and the Southwest market for Intermountain Health.

The Desert Color development, a “community seamlessly blend[ing] the serenity of outdoor living with luxurious residences and exclusive amenities,” their website states, is just one part of the population growth in St. George and surrounding cities.

The St. George area also features its own airport and an array of high-end golf courses.
