More than 90% of Utah children with life-threatening
conditions, whether they live along the Wasatch Front or in more rural locations,
travel to Salt Lake on a regular basis for treatment at Primary Children's Medical
Center. A Wishing Place is centrally located in the Salt Lake Valley in
a safe and family-friendly neighborhood, easily accessible to major expressways,
and within about 15 or 20 minutes of Primary. Through
a lead gift made by Katie and Ellis Ivory, the Foundation purchased an acre of
residential land in Murray in May of 2001, and Murray City rezoned the property
for our current uses. The land is one block from an entrance to I-215, allowing
families easy access from all parts of the state. It offers the additional amenity
of a green environment with enough space for a landscaped garden. Its other values
include a welcoming neighborhood, good community visibility, and the imminent
presence of a new flagship hospital campus planned for construction in Murray
by Intermountain Health Care.
The property is located
at 771 East Winchester, Murray, UT.
