The 44-year-old Cottonwood Hospital building is demolished in Murray on Tuesday to make way for the expanded TOSH (The Orthopedic Specialty Hospital). Cottonwood Hospital closed in 2007 when the Intermountain Medical Center opened less than a mile away. Intermountain Healthcare spokesman Jess Gomez said part of the space being cleared on the former hospital site will become sports training fields and other landscaping as a part of TOSH campus. "Many of the athletes that come in for sports-specific training will be working outside on that green space," Gomez said. The redesign of the campus exterior will make it "more user- and patient-friendly," he said.
