Get Healthy Utah, together with the Utah League of Cities and Towns, is pleased to announce that three Healthy Utah Communities have earned their redesignation this fall: Ephraim, Layton, and North Salt Lake.

Ephraim

Redesignated in Fall 2025, Ephraim focused its efforts on expanding active living opportunities for residents and visitors. The city upgraded a rugged, rocky trail by removing large stones and filling in potholes, transforming it into a smooth, bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly route. Running alongside the local disc golf course, the improved trail now sees more frequent use and supports a more active community lifestyle.

Layton

Layton’s 2025 redesignation highlights the city’s deepening commitment to employee wellness, food security, and mental health. Through its “Wellable” Wellness Program, the city expanded opportunities for employees and their families to engage in physical activity and adopt healthier daily habits. Layton also bolstered support for the Open Doors Food Bank, helping ensure that local families facing hardship have access to emergency food resources. To strengthen mental well-being, the city introduced CredibleMind, a confidential resource platform offering tools to help employees navigate stress, sleep, relationships, and overall mental health.

North Salt Lake

North Salt Lake’s Fall 2025 redesignation reflects wide-ranging progress in active living, employee wellness, and mental health support. The city encouraged residents to explore local trails by organizing quarterly community walks and hikes, and it reinforced long-term commitments to walkability and active transportation by integrating these priorities into its general plan. City employees benefited from expanded wellness initiatives, which earned North Salt Lake PEHP recognition for three consecutive years. To promote mental health and safety, the city enhanced public awareness of safe medication disposal through its police department and increased mental health and suicide-prevention training for first responders.
