Intermountain Health South Sevier Clinic Moves, Providing Expanded Primary Care Access and Services

New Intermountain Health South Sevier Clinic has new X-ray room, a medical procedure room with minor surgical equipment, and additional clinic space.

(PRUnderground) April 28th, 2025

Intermountain Health South Sevier Clinic in Monroe, Utah, has moved to a new, more convenient location which will expand access for patients in the community.

Located at 238 N. Main Street in Monroe, the clinic includes a new X-ray room, a medical procedure room with minor surgical equipment, and additional clinic space to allow future additional care providers to see patients. The clinic’s new X-ray room will benefit patients needing X-rays and save them from having to travel to nearby Intermountain Sevier Valley Hospital. Patients can also have minor procedures like stitch removal done in the clinic.

The South Sevier Clinic first opened in 2012 at the request of the Monroe City Council to fulfill the needs of the rural community. Since then, Kevin Anderson, PA-C has built the practice to help over 2,000 community members and has provided integrated family, pediatric, and senior medicine.

“That’s a lot,” said Chris Gappmayer, Intermountain Health Medical Group executive director. “For those who work in primary care, that is a large group of patients for any single provider, and Kevin does an extraordinary job of taking care of that group of patients.” Gappmayer added that with the larger clinic space, additional providers will be able to care for patients in the future.

“We have talked about this since we first opened the other clinic,” said Anderson. “Caring for members of our community has always been some of the most rewarding parts of my job here in Monroe, and I appreciate the support of the community and the support of Intermountain Health to help make this happen.”

Anderson, who is also a certified X-ray technician, was honored this year as the Rural Physician Assistant of the Year by the Utah Academy of Physician Assistants. Previously, Anderson was a PA and radiology tech at Intermountain Health North Sevier Clinic and Intermountain Health Sevier Valley Hospital.

Community members and the South Sevier Clinic team expressed optimism about the new clinic in Monroe, and many see the relocation as an investment in the community and local health. One of Anderson’s patients even shared that he was looking forward to experiencing the new clinic resources the next time he falls ill.

Anderson, a native of Monroe, said that he cherishes the opportunity to care for patients who he knows personally. He said in the beginning that he was discouraged from practicing in Monroe by some in the profession because of his personal connection. However, Anderson sees it differently. “It’s very rewarding to care for those I know personally,” he said.

On April 23rd, the Richfield Area Chamber of Commerce, Monroe City Council, and other community leaders joined with Intermountain leaders and caregivers for a ribbon cutting event to open the clinic.
