Construction of the new roof for Intermountain Cedar City Hospital’s emergency department expansion has been completed, thanks to a significant donation from GAF.

The roofing manufacturer, which operates a local plant in Cedar City, supplied all materials for the 5,000-square-foot project. Installed by Skyline Roofing Inc., the roof will protect the facility as the expansion progresses toward its 2026 completion, boosting emergency care capacity for Iron County and surrounding communities.

The GAF-Cedar City facility manufactured all of the roofing material locally – including GAF Self-Adhered Vapor Retarder, GAF EnergyGuard polyiso insulation, and GAF EverGuard TPO – to help protect this facility against the elements.   

“We are incredibly grateful to GAF for their generous support of this important expansion,” said Jamison Robinett, president of Intermountain Cedar City Hospital. “This new space will allow us to serve more patients, more efficiently and it wouldn’t be possible without committed community partners like GAF.”

The donation from GAF comes as construction is already underway and entering key development phases, with the new roof playing a vital role in keeping the project on track and ensuring the facility will be covered and secured ahead of Utah’s winter season. The expansion is expected to be completed in early 2026 and will significantly enhance emergency care capacity. In 2024, the emergency department at Intermountain Cedar City Hospital provided care to over 20,000 patients. This expansion – its first major upgrade since 2006 – will add nine new rooms, including additional spaces for behavioral health care and trauma response.

“Supporting Intermountain Cedar City Hospital, and the emergency care it provides to our neighbors, coworkers, and families, is one way we can help ensure the long-term health and resilience of this region,” said Jeff Terry, VP of CSR and Sustainability at GAF. “We are proud to provide the locally-manufactured roofing materials to protect those inside this facility from the elements so that they can focus on the important work happening inside.”

This collaboration is part of GAF’s social impact initiative, GAF Community Matters, which is focused on making a positive difference as neighbors and partners in the community by leveraging roofing expertise, resources and products to help build resilient communities.
