Get Healthy Utah, The Utah Foundation, and our partners are planning our first-ever Healthy Communities Roadshow. The Healthy Communities Roadshow will be a series of events hosted throughout Utah during Spring 2024.

Building healthy communities improves the quality of life of Utahns. Recently, the Utah Foundation released a Healthy Communities Series that consists of three policy guides for improving healthy eating and active living across the state. These guides align with the Healthy Utah Community Designation program, run by Get Healthy Utah and the Utah League of Cities and Towns. The designation outlines strategies to support healthy eating, active living, and mental wellbeing on a municipal level, and rewards communities for their efforts to improve community health.

The Roadshow will educate local policymakers and staff on these policy solutions and resources, and provide them with tools to make a lasting difference.
