More about Intermountain Healthcare

The organization positions itself as a model health system focused on delivering extraordinary care at an affordable cost, with a strong emphasis on evidence-based practice, safety, and equity. For nurses, Intermountain offers roles across various departments including medical-surgical, maternal-child (LDRP), and NICU settings. The organization's nursing job descriptions emphasize the full nursing process — assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation — with collaborative, interdisciplinary team-based care as a core expectation. The Billings, Montana location provides nursing professionals the opportunity to work within a well-established regional health system while serving a more rural patient population. Intermountain's stated commitment to 'engaged caregivers' and an 'unparalleled work experience' is a central part of its employer brand, though employee feedback suggests that the day-to-day reality is mixed, with strengths in culture and purpose but areas for improvement in management and advancement opportunities.

Mission: 'Helping people live the healthiest lives possible®.' Vision: 'Be a model health system by providing extraordinary care and superior service at an affordable cost.' The organization's Fundamentals of Extraordinary Care include Safety (Zero Harm), Quality (evidence-based care with top national performance), Experience (lasting patient loyalty), Equity (eliminating disparities), Access (seamless care coordination), Stewardship (community partnership and financial soundness), and Engaged Caregivers (unparalleled work experience). Core values: Integrity, Trust, Equity, Excellence, Accountability, and Mutual Respect.
