The partnership, which has been in the works for more than five years, creates the Utah Valley Hospital Primary Children’s Network, which expands pediatric care at Utah Valley with 26 recruited sub-specialists.
“Local pediatricians and family medicine physicians have done an excellent job caring for children in our community. The goal of this new partnership is to have a network of Primary Children’s care throughout select parts of Utah so children can receive specialized care closer to home,” Russell Osguthorpe, MD, Utah Valley’s pediatric medical director, said in a statement.
The Kahlert Foundation, a charitable organization founded by the Kahlert family, pledged to give $3 million to support the launch of the pediatric partnership.
