Overview
Utah Partners for Health operates as a Federally Qualified Health Center delivering medical, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, vision, and substance-use treatment to uninsured and underserved residents in Salt Lake and Tooele counties. Its patient-centered medical home coordinates care and uses a mix of federal and government funding, Medicare/Medicaid, private insurance, and a sliding fee scale to charge patients. A distinctive feature is partnerships with for-profit clinics that donate in-kind services to expand access, complemented by programs like Mobile Clinic and Prenatal Clinic. The goal is to improve access to affordable, comprehensive health services for underserved populations and expand services as community needs grow.
