Why Change?
Why Now?

University of
Utah Health
Our New Name
Are we a top-notch health care delivery system? A robust research enterprise? An educational institution training future health care leaders? Yes. We’re all three. Each making the other stronger and all working together toward a singular goal:
Health
So we’re simplifying our name, letting go of University of Utah Health Sciences and University of Utah Health Care and embracing one name that includes everyone:
University of Utah Health
Our new name represents how we’re thinking holistically about improving the health of our state, the Mountain West region and even the world.
Our New Logo
Our strength comes from being part of a world-class university. So we’ve let go of the “Rounded U” and caduceus and embraced the University of Utah’s “Block U” to highlight how we’re breaking down academic silos, sharing resources and forming key partnerships across the entire campus.
We’ve incorporated the DNA helix into our logo to show our commitment to treat every person as a unique individual—from the way we deliver patient care, to discovering the genetic basis of disease, to creating a healthy work environment for our faculty, staff and students.
Our New Brand
Caring Now, Pioneering the Future
Imagine getting the best health care that science has to offer, and right down the hall some of the world’s brightest minds are working tirelessly to make it even better. Tailoring care. Making discoveries. Training for the future.
Why are we here? To make health more accessible, more affordable and more precise than ever before.
What We
Won't Change
Change is good, but there are some things that we'll never let go of: our collaborative spirit, our commitment to excellence and our optimism, ambition, compassion, work ethic and can-do attitude. Those are the qualities that have guided us from our humble beginnings as a two-year medical school in 1905 to a world class academic medical center in 2017. Those are the qualities that have helped us change the world. Here are just a few examples:
- World's first total artificial heart transplant
- Nation's first NIH research grant
- Nation's first biomedical informatics department
- Nation's first wearable articial kidney
- Region's first neonatal intensive care unit
- Region's first and only comprehensive stroke treatment and burn center
- Utah's first telemedicine network
