FY 2016 Appropriation

Within the University Hospital is the Miner's Hospital. At the time of Statehood, Congress granted 100,000 acres of land to the State of Utah for the hospital. The School and Institutional Trust Lands was established to be administered by the State. One of the stipulations under the original agreement was that the proceeds from the sale of the lands were to be used to fund a hospital for disabled miners. In 1957, Legislation established a Rehabilitation Center from the revenues from the trust fund to be used to build a Miners' Hospital. This program provides healthcare for disabled miners including outreach programs, seminars, and screening services. In addition, the hospital has established two scholarships for the children or grandchildren of disabled miners.
