Local doctors and nurses could help Olympic athletes prepare for events in the year 2002 when the winter games come to Salt Lake City.

Utah-based Intermountain Health Care, the parent company of Cassia Regional Medical Center, has been chosen by the Salt Lake City Olympic organizing committee to provide health and medical services at the games.

“We want to give employees from all of our facilities a chance to participate,” said Daron Cowley, an Intermountain Health Care spokesman.

Richard Packer, administrator of Cassia Regional, said the local hospital was notified recently of the news but at this point has few details on the event, still five years away.

Intermountain Health Care will equip first aid stations and a medical command center, provide support for the Olympics’ drug control and gender verification programs, and support related Olympic events.
