Amy Blasing Welcomed as New Intermountain Health Saint Joseph Hospital President

Veteran healthcare executive Amy Blasing has been named president of Intermountain Health Saint Joseph Hospital in Denver.

Blasing has more than 30 years of experience and began her career as a nurse. She is deeply committed to providing quality experiences both for patients and for those who care for them, and she brings a compassionate, people-centered approach to leadership.

Most recently, Blasing was the chief executive officer of Lovelace Westside Hospital and Lovelace Women’s Hospital of Ardent Health/Lovelace Health System in Albuquerque, New Mexico. During that time, Blasing’s accomplishments included developing strong relationships within the healthcare community and recruiting provider groups, driving significant improvement in patient experience scores by implementing a culture of trust, transparency and safety, and exceeding financial performance targets. Additionally, Blasing holds a Master of Science in nursing administration and is a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives.

“Amy shared that she was drawn to this position because of the impeccable reputation Saint Joseph Hospital has for delivering high-quality, compassionate care,” said Scott Peek, president of Intermountain Health’s Front Range market. “She is very excited to join an organization with such a long history of caring for the community and plans to spend her first 100 days getting to know caregivers and providers and developing relationships in the community.”

Outside of work, Blasing enjoys traveling, the outdoors, crafting, and trips to theme parks. She and her husband are proud parents of three grown children and share their home with three golden retrievers, Dug, Kevin, and Russell, all named after characters from Disney’s “Up”.

“We are excited that Amy is joining Saint Joseph Hospital and feels a strong connection to our mission and the collective calling established for us by the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth to serve the Denver community. She is well positioned to lead this organization that has proven to be an essential part of the state’s fabric for more than 150 years, through the next chapter of its very bright future,” Peek said.

Blasing begins her new role on July 28.
