She succeeds Scott Anderson, who remains on the Board as Chair Emeritus and who has stepped down at the completion of his six-year term. Intermountain’s Board of Trustees is comprised of 20 individuals who volunteer their time without pay to direct the not-for-profit organization. Board members set policy, create goals, evaluate management’s performance, and ensure Intermountain operates in the best interests of the community. Board Chairs are elected by the Board. Miller joined the Intermountain Healthcare Board of Trustees in 2013. She serves on several committees, including the Executive Committee and the Community Relations Committee. Miller is the owner of the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies and Chair of its Board of Directors. She is actively engaged in the various operations of the company, including the administration of the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation. She is Trustee Emeritus of Salt Lake Community College, serves on the National Advisory Council for the University of Utah, and holds an honorary alumni award from Brigham Young University. Gail is passionate about the Utah community, and in addition to serving on Intermountain’s Board, she is involved with several initiatives, boards and organizations with an emphasis on healthcare, education, and homelessness. Miller is also the recipient of three honorary degrees: a Doctor of Humanities from Weber State University and Doctor of Humane Letters from the University of Utah and Salt Lake Community College. In 2012, the Intermountain Healthcare Research and Medical Foundation honored Miller with the Legacy of Life Award. In 2015, she received the Salt Lake Chamber’s highest award, A Giant In Our City. “At Intermountain, we are very fortunate to have Gail as our new Board chair,” said Marc Harrison, MD, Intermountain’s President and CEO. “She has been a tremendously positive influence on our stewardship to our patients, members, and communities. She is a champion of our mission and our vision to be a model health system and a beacon of hope for the people we serve.” Outgoing Chair Scott Anderson is the President and CEO of Zions First National Bank. He has served on Intermountain’s Board of Trustees since 2005. “We are grateful to Scott for his board service and for all he and this board have done to help set the bar high for Intermountain in serving patients and our community,” said Dr. Harrison.

KSL’s Give-A-Thon Sets a New Record for Primary Children’s Hospital Companies and community raise more than $5 million to help fund care for kids Companies and community members stepped up to help raise a record-breaking $5.1 million during the recent KSL Give-A-Thon, benefitting kids at Primary Children’s Hospital. The contribution will support programs such as music and art therapy, integrative medicine, chaplaincy services, pediatric research, new technologies that improve health outcomes, and financial support for families in need. A group of Intermountain trustees, KSL crew members, phone bank volunteers, and hospital and Foundation staff converged at the hospital to encourage participation. Dozens of volunteers manned a phone bank, responding to more than 1,100 calls from generous donors. In addition to the individual gifts received, corporate partners upped the total with donations received from in-store fundraising. Top corporate partners included Costco, Panda Express, Walgreens, Walmart/Sam’s Club, IHOP, and Smith’s Food & Drug, which itself kicked in an impressive $1.2 million. KSL’s broadcasts featured inspiring stories and live interviews with patients and Intermountain caregivers, including Intermountain President and CEO Marc Harrison, MD, a pediatrician who started his career at Primary Children’s. “Our community is incredibly generous, and we’re so grateful for the enthusiasm shown in support of the patients of Primary Children’s Hospital and their families,” said Janet DeWolfe, Associate Chief Development Officer of Intermountain Foundation at Primary Children’s Hospital. “Thank you to KSL, which has been an incredible partner in hosting this event for more than 40 years, and to the extraordinary team of volunteers and caregivers who made it all possible.” In the past, two separate events were held each year in partnership with KSL—one on TV and one on radio. This year, the events were combined into one, maximizing fundraising results. Saudi Health Delegation Visits Intermountain Healthcare Visitors want to learn how continuous improvement can help them increase their country’s life expectancy A delegation of six leading physicians from the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Health visited Intermountain Healthcare in April to learn ways to improve quality and health through the Intermountain Operating Model and our Accountable Care Organization system. “The group was most interested in seeing our work in action instead of in a meeting room,” said Rob Allen, Intermountain’s Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “After broad introductions to our Intermountain Operating Model and culture of improvement, they spent a morning in department huddles at Utah Valley Hospital—including the Food and Nutrition Department and several nursing units. They were impressed with what they saw and hope to continue learning from us.” Saudi Arabia has undertaken a large transformation program—called Vision 2030—that includes providing better and more efficient healthcare services in the Kingdom. Its proposed goals are to increase the length and quality of life of Saudi citizens—and increase life expectancy to 80 years by 2030. Intermountain’s Continuous Improvement team, under the direction of Matt Pollard, MD, Executive Director of the Intermountain Operating Model, hosts many government, business, and industry leaders each year who come to learn more about how we improve our fundamentals of care across the system using our Intermountain Operating Model. Visitors have come from General Motors, Stanford University, Cleveland Clinic, and many other organizations.
