multiyear expansion of the two organizations’ longstanding
commitment to improve the safety, quality and experience of health
care for patients and caregivers. For years, Intermountain has been
one of Cerner’s most closely aligned health system clients, both
committed to finding new ways to advance the science and practice
of medicine and improve patient care. Cerner will continue to
support Intermountain’s mission to help people live the healthiest
lives possible, delivering on a shared vision of a seamless and
connected world where everyone thrives.

address business and patient needs today and in the future.
Intermountain will continue to provide expert guidance that helps

stronger,” said Marc Probst, vice president and CIO, Intermountain
Healthcare. “We continue to diligently work toward the goals we set
out to accomplish together and have a renewed sense of pride about
this relationship and where we are headed. We have the incredible
opportunity—and ultimately the responsibility—to improve the lives
of caregivers and patients in the communities we serve and be a
model of care delivery for health systems around the world, of
which Cerner is instrumental in achieving.”
With a strong focus on safety, reliability and resiliency, the
two organizations have committed to drive change for
Intermountain’s population and beyond. Intermountain has had a
considerable impact on health systems across the globe, serving as
a resource eager to share its successes, knowledge and lessons

really important, improving patients’ health and clinicians’
ability to provide potentially lifesaving care,” said Brent Shafer,
chairman and CEO, Cerner. “We are focused on supporting our clients
with the resources they need to succeed, and as one of the most
robust users of our technology, Intermountain is an outstanding
