But Select Health, Intermountain’s insurance arm, aims to change that trend by simplifying insurance and making it easy to get care and find answers. Check out first-hand examples of how our Member Advocates at Select Health serve as partners in health by connecting members and many Intermountain patients with the right care at the right time and by making healthcare more accessible.

It is not common for Cupid to visit patients at the Holy Rosary Hospital on Valentine’s Day, but surprise guests have become expected since Robert Tallent has been receiving care as a patient. Three years ago, Robert was diagnosed with colon cancer. He underwent surgery and chemo, then began immunotherapy at Holy Rosary in Miles City, MT, an innovative treatment that uses the patient's immune system to fight the cancer. "At the infusion center, I saw others who were having a difficult time, and I wanted to do something for them," he said. Robert has surprised caregivers and patients on special days, dressing up in fun costumes for Christmas, St. Patrick's Day, and Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Now receiving his regular infusions at Holy Rosary, he has began building relationships with his care team and fellow patients. "They are the best," he shared of his caregivers." They make you feel comfortable like you are at home." His experience inspired him to give back and share his positivity for those like him who are facing a difficult diagnosis and treatment. "(My cancer) is what it is," he shared. "It is not something I want to worry about. I try to do those things I hadn't been doing before and live a normal life as much as possible."
