Our Mission
Foster awareness, prevention, and resilience at the intersection of health and environmental change.
Our Vision
Utahns make decisions based on our understanding that our changing environment impacts our health.
What We Do
Our team began to gather in 2023 with two primary goals: make the environmental health space in Utah more interconnected, and make environmental health more widely understood in Utah. This has lead to monthly meetings which feature speakers from local environmental health groups, and community outreach projects like our online hub and 2026 UPHA Resolution proposal: Fostering Community Resilience in a Changing Environment.
