LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The Urban Chamber of Commerce has named Intermountain Health its Nonprofit of the Year, recognizing the health system’s investment in the health, economic vitality, and long-term success of Southern Nevada.
The award was presented during the Chamber’s annual Green Tie Awards, which honors businesses, nonprofit organizations, educators, advocates, and community leaders for their service and leadership in the region.

Reinvestment model at the center of the recognition
As a nonprofit health system, Intermountain reinvests 100% of its operating income back into the communities it serves through improved facilities, technology, expanded services, and programs that address community needs.
“This recognition means so much because it comes from the community itself,” said Mitch Cloward, Intermountain Health region president. “The Urban Chamber understands that healthy communities and thriving businesses go hand in hand. As a nonprofit, our success isn’t measured by profits, it’s measured by whether our neighbors are healthier, our workforce is stronger, and our community has better access to care. We’re honored to be part of that work in Southern Nevada.”
Community programs span health, housing, and food access
Across Southern Nevada, Intermountain’s investments include hospitals, clinics, community health programs, and partnerships that expand access to care and address the social drivers of health. In 2025, those efforts included expanding access to nutritious food for more than 13,400 Southern Nevadans, as well as investments in housing stability and economic opportunity.
“On behalf of the Urban Chamber of Commerce, I am proud to recognize Intermountain Health as our Nonprofit of the Year,” said Chris Shelton, president and CEO of the Urban Chamber of Commerce. “Their commitment extends beyond healthcare; it reflects a genuine investment in the health, economic vitality, and success of our community. This is what meaningful partnership looks like, and together, we achieve more.”
