These individuals changed the course of the pandemic in Utah
Every year we honor those in the healthcare industry who have worked to make Utah healthier. But this year, Utah’s healthcare leaders went above and beyond, pivoting their time, creativity, ingenuity, and magnanimity to face off against a global pandemic.
This year’s award winners flew to New York to ease congested and overworked hospitals. They devoted their time and resources to make mass testing available statewide. They put aside everything they planned to accomplish this year to join the race for a vaccination.
Even the companies stepped up. Retail companies used their manufacturing power to make masks and PPE equipment for our healthcare workers. Distilleries used their stills to make hand sanitizer for the public. Large tech companies used their buying power to purchase meals from struggling restaurants and donate them to overworked hospitals.
In November of 2020, Utah Business sat down with leaders from six of Utah’s healthcare companies for a livestreamed panel event. We spoke about what it was like to be on the frontlines of the pandemic in 2020, and where we see the industry going from here.
This is only the beginning of our nation’s battle against COVID-19, we all agreed, and we are so grateful to these warriors for leading the charge. Thank you, to this year’s 2020 Healthcare Heroes. We are so grateful for all you have done both this year and beyond.
Administrative Excellence
Diane Rindlisbacher, RN DNP(c)
Executive Partner, Strategy Officer, and COVID-19 Testing Lead | Intermountain Healthcare
How have you made an impact during the COVID-19 pandemic?
On March 6, 2020, Governor Gary Herbert declared a state of emergency in anticipation of the COVID-19 virus. On March 9th, Intermountain collected our first sample for testing, and one week later we had launched a COVID-19 hotline and 13 testing sites throughout Utah. Since those early days of the pandemic, we’ve processed over 315,000 tests for Utahns–the most tests administered in the state by a single organization.
What are you looking forward to?
December 11, 2020. That is the date I graduate with my doctor of nursing practice in executive leadership from the University of San Francisco. I have empathy for those going to school during a pandemic!
Kimball Anderson
CEO, Timpanogos Hospital | MountainStar Healthcare
How have you made an impact during the COVID-19 pandemic?
We were faced with a unique situation that had become a public health crisis. Confusing and sometimes contradicting information about the origin, symptoms, transmission, and treatment of COVID was changing daily. This, coupled with the social unrest at the time and the politicization of the situation, contributed to the level of fear and anxiety in our communities. It seemed like the very fabric of society was unraveling. I recognized the opportunity to have a positive influence on society by collaborating with innovative leaders from Silicon Slopes, community leaders, and healthcare to implement innovative and unique approaches to a public healthcare crisis.
What advice do you have for other healthcare professionals?
Recognize opportunities to make a difference, surround yourself with good people who also want to make a difference, work hard, and have fun and enjoy what you do.
Philip Chaffee (not pictured)
Senior Director, Emergency Management & Safety | University of Utah Health
How have you made an impact during the COVID-19 pandemic?
The years of planning, training, and stockpiling supplies and equipment, such as self-contained hospital tents, continue to provide valuable resources for our healthcare system to provide critical services to the community we serve. Because of this forward-thinking and relentless planning for more than a decade, we have been able to respond and provide the quality and continuity of care that our community deserves.
What are you looking forward to?
Now that I am nearing the end of my second master’s degree, an MBA with an emphasis in healthcare administration, I look forward to furthering advancement in leadership where I can continue to affect positive change that fosters professional partnerships and builds true relationships of trust that strengthens my ability to serve and help provide the healthcare needs of our communities.

Podium
(not pictured)
How have you made an impact during the COVID-19 pandemic?
When COVID-19 hit, everyone had to shift the way they did business overnight, from local businesses to state governments. At Podium, we saw this immense need and we launched a campaign here in Utah called Text-to-Takeout, where we gave a free version of our software to every restaurant in the state that wanted it. It allowed them to immediately use texting to coordinate taking orders, arranging curbside pickup, taking contactless payment, and more. We gave the state access to our Webchat product for the coronovirus.utah.gov website, giving Utahns the option to text the State Department of Health with questions about the COVID response rather than having to call in.
What advice do you have for other businesses navigating the pandemic?
Stay nimble and embrace digital.

How are you impacting your community?
The best way to impact our community is to do the best we can as positive and productive contributors. We should seek organizations in which we can engage and assist in trying to make a positive difference. Through my years I have been fortunate to work with LDS Charities, Operation Underground Railroad, Village of Hope, and more. All of my experiences with these great organizations have had at least a profound effect on me and hopefully those we, directly and indirectly, assisted with healthcare.
— Keith J. Nelson

Healthcare Support
Bill Phillips
Founder & COO | Spectrum Solutions
How have you made an impact during the COVID-19 pandemic?
At Spectrum I was able to help my team make a quick pivot to rapidly step up and deliver the world an altogether new diagnostic option using saliva. This industry-innovating COVID testing solution using the readily available saliva additionally offered over a 90 percent reduction in PPE use, immediately offering the nation relief from both testing supply and PPE shortages.
What do you wish more people knew about being a healthcare professional?
It’s one thing to say you’re going to create a medical device manufacturing company for molecular diagnostic applications; it sounds quite impressive and extraordinary. However, it is quite another thing entirely to actually make that happen. There are so many unique elements and moving parts that must cohesively meld while they keep changing. The path to implementing a quality system and becoming ISO13485 certified was a challenge and a journey that required company-wide adoption and 100 percent buy-in from everyone.
David Hillyard
Professor Pathology | University of Utah
Director Molecular Infectious Testing | ARUP Laboratories
How have you made an impact during the COVID-19 pandemic?
I have directed the implementation, troubleshooting, and scaling up of COVID molecular testing at ARUP. I have also had the great fortune to work with many other healthcare professionals to advise other health care providers and government entities regarding best practices for COVID testing.
Who inspires you?
I am inspired by the exceptionally talented individuals who work tirelessly and often with little recognition to facilitate laboratory testing. The tremendous contribution of laboratory technologists during the current pandemic is often missed in the acknowledgments of health care workers and should be appreciated.

When it became apparent that caregivers may face shortages of critical PPE in the face of this pandemic, we had the great honor of organizing the efforts of 50,000 incredible volunteers who made 5 million medical-grade masks.
What do you wish more people knew about being a healthcare professional?
We wish more people could both see and understand the herculean efforts caregivers make every day to provide the safest care possible for patients, including those who have been impacted by the COVID pandemic. We are proud to be part of organizations that recognize what it means to be responsible, contributing members of the community, and give back in many ways both seen and unseen.

Lifetime Achievement
Patricia R. Richards
President & CEO, retired | SelectHealth
How have you made an impact during the COVID-19 pandemic?
At SelectHealth, our priority was the safety, security, and well-being of our employees. After quickly setting up work-from-home capability for more than 95 percent of our workforce, we were able to help people by providing accurate information on testing, treatment, and new ways of accessing care through digital and telehealth services. We were also able to help individuals and employers find ways to maintain their health care coverage.
What advice do you have for other businesses navigating the pandemic?
First and foremost, take steps to keep your employees and customers safe. In addition, become informed about programs that offer financial and other support for your business. Also, maintain regular communication with your employees, and pay attention to their emotional needs. With the pandemic, we are seeing more anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. There are several resources available through employee assistance programs (EAP) and the emotional support hotline.
Gordon Crabtree
CEO, Hospitals & Clinics | University of Utah Health
Who inspires you?
Our team of over 20,000 employees at U-Health, including all levels of support staff and professionals. They inspire me every single day with unheralded work and unequaled courage.
How are you impacting your community?
Healthcare is all about community. Teams of professionals at U-Health work every day to help others get through some very difficult challenges. I’m most proud of our health and wellness bus, (a gift from the Larry H and Gail Miller Family Foundation). It has been up and running for three years now, providing screenings and care, particularly for those at risk for diabetes. The bus goes into the community, right where people live, eliminating barriers for those who don’t have insurance, transportation, or access to this care.
I’m also incredibly proud of the SafeUT app, developed at U of U Health and administered by our teams. This successful partnership with our state provides life-saving crisis care to thousands of youth who are at risk for suicide, resulting in more than 2,200 chats in 2019 with youth who report suicidal behaviors.

What are you looking forward to?
I look forward to being a part of tremendous innovation and change in how we deliver care. While the pandemic poses incredible challenges and we all have suffered losses big and small, I am hopeful that we will grow from it.
— Amrapali M. Shah, MD | pulmonary and critical care physician | Intermountain Healthcare
Salt Lake County Health Department
How have you made an impact during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Many of the things that have become familiar to the public because of COVID, such as the term “flattening the curve” or the concept of contact tracing, are not new to public health—they’re things we do all the time, with dozens of diseases we’re charged with controlling.
Our professionals are the workers who collect, analyze, and report the data used to set COVID policy and we are where healthcare organizations, the medical community, and the public turn for guidance on controlling infectious disease in our community.
What do you wish more people knew about being a healthcare professional?
In medicine, the patient is an individual person; public health is about the health of the population as a whole, and our “patient” is the entire community. So our decisions are based on what’s best for everyone in Salt Lake County rather than any one individual, though we also work to minimize individual health risks whenever possible.
— Gary Edwards | Executive Director | Salt Lake County Health Department
Michael Hall
MD | Ogden Clinic
How have you made an impact during the COVID-19 pandemic?
As a member of the US Navy, I was fortunate to be able to volunteer to help with COVID in New York City. I deployed for eight weeks to care for COVID ICU patients. I primarily cared for patients at Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. At a difficult time in our country’s history, I was able to help and treat patients and try to comfort their family members with the difficulties posed by the unique and unprecedented circumstances posed by COVID.
What is your favorite moment from your healthcare career so far?
My favorite moments are really the daily moments when I talk to people who have had long-standing pain issues that I have been able to help resolve, or when a patient with severe traumatic injuries recovers to the point that they can return to everyday life, happy and productive. That’s why I absolutely love my job in Orthopedic surgery.
Richard A. Ferguson, MD, MBA
Medical Director | Steward Healthchoice Utah
How have you made an impact during the COVID-19 pandemic?
My initial impact with COVID was in taking care of the disproportionately affected Black and Brown citizens of Queens, New York in early April. I learned a lot firsthand rounding on patients daily in our Field Hospital specifically built for COVID positive patients (Billie Jean King-BJK). While on the frontline at BJK I was privileged to work alongside some of the nation’s brightest.
I continue to educate to increase awareness and dispel myths regarding COVID through formal and informal community engagement in Salt Lake County.
What advice do you have for other businesses navigating the pandemic?
Please enforce mask usage amongst your customers and your employees. There are few medical indications to not wear a mask.
Clement Chow
Assistant Professor | University of Utah School of Medicine
Clement Chow was one of the first COVID cases in the state of Utah, and among the most severely ill. Throughout his illness and his recovery, Chow has used his voice to share his story and knowledge as a survivor to educate and enlighten audiences worldwide.
How have you made an impact during the COVID-19 pandemic?
I have tried to use my experience as a survivor to educate those around me and the general public. Facts and figures don’t always inspire, but true life stories can often spur others to do the right thing and protect others from this deadly disease.
How are you impacting your community?
One of my passions is advocating for all people of color. Outside of my professional role, I have been involved in the Utah chapter of OCA-Asian Pacific American Advocates, an organization aimed at advancing the social, political, and economic issues most relevant to Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders here in Utah. As a professor, I work hard to help increase the representation and success of students of color through my work with our chapter of SACNAS (Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science).

How have you made an impact during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Tip Your Server was an innovative way for us to rally the community to support the people we depend on to keep Salt Lake City fed. Food and beverage employees were the first to be laid off and they’ll be some of the last to be rehired. That is what made this program an absolute priority for us from day one.
— Erin Mendenhall | Mayor | Salt Lake City
What advice do you have for other businesses navigating the pandemic?
It is really easy to get caught up in the details and take time to iron everything out, but in emergency situations like a global pandemic, you don’t always have the luxury to wait. We were able to successfully launch Tip Your Server on such short notice because we quickly identified what partners would be working on the project, and what roles they played.
