Greetings!
This spring has brought women's health into clear focus. A first-time grant from the Utah Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and a budding campaign to attract volunteer medical providers specializing in women's health will begin to address tremendous local needs.

As always, thank you for your efforts to help build a healthier community!

Help Arrives from The Utah Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure
Did you know that Summit County has the highest breast cancer rate in the State of Utah?

What your support means to one.......
"Other doctors just ignored my concerns. Here I was heard. My PHC doctor understood that I was trying to manage my chronic disease - but I needed to be able to AFFORD to manage it. The help the Clinic gave me in finding my really expensive medication at NO cost has changed everything for me."
