Care When You Need It

Heber Valley Instacare is ready for this summer’s ups and downs

Summer is officially here and you know what that means: it’s time to get out and play!

We are incredibly lucky to live in a place that is teeming with outdoor recreational activities and opportunities for adventure. Whether you spend your summer days hiking the Uintas, flying down single track or wading the Provo with a rod in hand, you’re bound to incur some bumps and bruises along the way.

Unfortunately, outdoor adventures can sometimes lead to more than just scraped elbows and banged-up shins. Thankfully, our friends at Intermountain Healthcare recently expanded their services in the Heber Valley to include a new InstaCare facility prepped and ready to handle anything short of a true emergency.

Phase one of a 43 million-dollar expansion (the largest investment in medical services in Wasatch County’s history), the new InstaCare facility provides fast, easy and local access to urgent care. With shorter wait times and the new Call Ahead program, valley residents now have a better — and cheaper — alternative to the ER.

In the Heber Valley, our hospital is more than just bricks and mortar — it’s a building filled with our neighbors and friends, who are always ready to lend a healing hand. So, get out there and play hard this summer with the confidence of knowing that if you do fall, our friends at Intermountain Healthcare are ready to pick you up and put you back together.
