St. Mark's Hospital (Salt Lake City, Utah)
Variant namesSt. Mark's Hospital was founded in 1872 by Episcopal Bishop, Right Reverend Daniel S. Tuttle. In the 1880s, St. Mark's became the first Salt Lake County Hospital, with the treatment of many patients paid out of county revenues. The hospital performed this service until the County Hospital was completed in 1912. Saint Mark's School of Nursing was founded in 1894, the first nursing school in the intermountain region. The hospital also pioneered ambulance service. St. Mark's horse-drawn ambulance was put into service in 1895. The Shriners Hospital has its roots at St. Mark's, which housed the Shriners Crippled Children's Ward from 1925 until the early 1950s. For over eighty years, St. Mark's was located at 803 North 200 West, near the mineral springs. In 1973 the hospital moved to its current location on 3900 South. The Episcopal Diocese of Utah operated St. Mark's until 1987, when it was purchased by Hospital Corporation of America.
