SANDY, Utah (KUTV) — Smith Entertainment Group and Intermountain Health introduced a partnership and the creation of a sports medicine center at The Shops at South Town.
The “first-of-its-kind campus” will mix NBA and NHL observe services with the medicine center.
“Scheduled to open in 2028, the Intermountain Health Sports Performance Center will be strategically located adjacent to the Utah Mammoth Ice Center and the future Utah Jazz practice facility,” a press launch states. “This will be the only sports and health campus in the NBA and NHL with two teams under a single ownership group and a single healthcare provider, creating a fully integrated destination for high performance athletes and active individuals seeking advanced recovery, wellness, and innovative care.”
The center will reportedly develop entry to “cutting-edge performance technology, advanced training methodologies, and industry-leading sports medicine services” considerably.
It may also supply medical providers equivalent to main care, sports medicine, orthopedics, bodily medicine, rehabilitation, sports efficiency science, efficiency remedy, superior diagnostics, and an orthopedic ambulatory surgical procedure center.
“Designed to serve people at every level – from professional athletes to youth competitors to active community members – the center will further establish Utah as a global destination for sport, performance innovation, and community health,” the press launch states.
Ryan Smith, chairman and CEO of Smith Entertainment Group stated that “having a single ownership group and a single healthcare provider across both teams will allow us to innovate, share best practices, and build toward the integrated care that is the future and continue to invest in proactive care, health, and longevity for our teams and the community.”
“Partnering with Intermountain Health on this campus is one more important step in creating Utah as a destination market for professional athletes and our ability to serve the community at large,” he continued.
At the center, athletes will reportedly have entry to AI-enabled efficiency insights and motion evaluation that connects biomechanics and assesses harm danger, guiding coaching, restoration, and return-to-play protocols.
Intermountain Health will turn into the official healthcare companion for the Utah Jazz and the Utah Mammoth, starting July 1, and Select Health will turn into the unique medical health insurance.
