History
The medical center was established in 1944 as the LDS Roosevelt Hospital, but when The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints divested itself from its health care services in 1975, Duchesne County assumed ownership of the facility and it became known as Duchesne County Hospital. In 1993, the hospital was turned over to Uintah Basin Health Care and the name was changed to the Uintah Basin Medical Center.
On 27 March 2014 Bradley LeBaron, who oversaw the transition to the non-profit corporation and had been the president and CEO of UBHC in the more than twenty years since, advised the Board of Trustees that he was leaving the organization to pursue another career opportunity with Brigham Young University's Student Health Services. His resignation was effective 1 June 2014. Brent Hales, who had been the CFO of UBHC for nearly seventeen years, was named the interim President and CEO.
