Competitive advantage

According to the company, the planned Intermountain Health Sports Performance Center will be the only sports and health campus in the NBA and NHL with two teams under one ownership group and one healthcare provider.

“Having a single ownership group and a single healthcare provider across both teams will allow us to innovate, share best practices, and build toward the integrated care that is the future and continue to invest in proactive care, health, and longevity for our teams and the community,” Smith said in a press release.

“Partnering with Intermountain Health on this campus is one more important step in creating Utah as a destination market for professional athletes and our ability to serve the community at large.”

SEG said integrating the sports medicine center with the practice facilities creates a “unique competitive advantage” for the Jazz and Mammoth.

Access for all athletes

The 60,000 square-foot facility scheduled to open in 2028 will offer comprehensive clinical services such as primary care, sports medicine, orthopedics, physical medicine and rehabilitation, along with sports performance science, performance therapy, advanced diagnostics and imaging, and an orthopedic ambulatory surgery center, according to SEG.

“Caring for these athletes extends our mission and reflects the expertise and support our caregivers provide daily to patients and families across our communities,” Rob Allen, president and CEO of Intermountain Health, said in the press release.

“Our sports medicine teams will work alongside the Jazz and Mammoth organizations to provide innovative, connected care aimed at helping each player perform safely and at their best. This same trusted expertise is here for athletes at every level, as well as for all those seeking our care and support.”

SEG acquired the 111-acre Shops at South Town in 2024. To date, it has developed about 10% of the property, including the planned sports medicine center. It intends to transform the site into a destination for sports, entertainment, gathering and community events.
