Since opening in 1976, this 220-bed facility has strived to be the best acute-care community hospital in America and is doing an amazing job. By offering a broad range of healthcare services, advanced medical technology, and a comfortable, convenient patient experience, Davis Hospital has become an amazing asset in our community for quality health care. 

Among others, Davis Hospital has received the Thomson Reuters Healthcare Advantage Award, which chooses the top 10 percent quality outcomes at each IASIS hospital. The strategy focuses on raising awareness of metrics among clinicians and integrating best practices into the overall delivery of care. With a comprehensive business intelligence system that equips its leaders with broad data access, the organization can prioritize clinical goals to continually improve operations and the quality and safety of care. Knowing Davis Hospital is included in that category of excellent care clearly shows they strive for those positive outcomes, which will only save lives. They have been honored with many more awards!

Mike Larson is the President of Davis Hospital and Medical Center. When we met Mike we immediately felt his passion and love for the hospital. He genuinely cares about his staff and all of those who enter the hospital walls. We asked Mike what he loved about the Davis Chamber and he said that the thing that comes to mind first is the relationships that he has formed with those in the Chamber. He said many have become lifelong friends. Some have even come to work for him. Those connections he said, are the most important.

It was so great getting to know Mike and the drive he has to make Davis Hospital and Medical Center the best acute care community hospital in America! Davis Hospital is located at 1600 West Antelope Drive in Layton. Visit their website at https://www.davishospital.org/ for more information.
