Skyline in Grand Junction, Colorado, Transforms with New Intermountain Health Signage
Grand Junction’s tallest building is getting a facelift.
Intermountain Health St. Mary’s Regional Hospital will begin installing the hospital’s sign and new logo on the building’s exterior in September, marking a milestone in the rebranding of the hospital.
“When Intermountain Healthcare and SCL Health merged in 2022, we knew it would bring changes to our community,” said Bryan Johnson, president of Intermountain St. Mary’s and Intermountain Health’s Western Colorado market. “We have seen benefits in the form of shared medical and operational expertise as well as financial investments into the community.”
Additionally, the hospital’s name changed in 2024 to better reflect Intermountain St. Mary’s Hospital evolving brand and vision for the future of healthcare.
“Intermountain St. Mary's Regional Hospital represents growth, innovation, and a passion for helping people live their healthiest lives,” Johnson said. “What hasn’t changed is the high-quality care and services provided here.”
The new signage displays the Intermountain Health logo in the colors of coral and fuchsia on a dark blue background.
Blue represents and honors the health system’s legacy and St. Mary’s nearly 130-year history. Coral and fuchsia reflect the beauty in the natural surroundings of the Mountain West communities that Intermountain serves, which includes Western Colorado.
Standing 12 feet tall and more than 90 feet wide, the signage will be visible from miles away, making it a new landmark for residents and visitors.
Because of its size, the signs are made up of individual letters with a painted blue background and will be installed on the north and south sides of Intermountain St. Mary’s Century Tower.
The installation process will be a feat of engineering, requiring meticulous planning and coordination.
The hospital is working with Colorado-based Chambler & Sons to complete the installation over the next several weeks, weather dependent. During the installation, various areas of Intermountain St. Mary’s campus will be cordoned off for safety. There are no anticipated interruptions to patient care, air ambulance operations, or main hospital entrances.
Once this project is complete, Intermoun tain St. Mary’s also will install a large cross to honor and reaffirm the hospital’s commitment to its Catholic health ministry. The cross is expected to be installed in the coming months.
