Introduction
to Local Health Departments in Utah
There are
12 Local Health Departments (LHDs) in Utah. Each of these agencies
provide a variety of direct public health services. The primary
purpose of Utah's Health Departments is to protect and promote the health,
safety and well being
of all citizens in the state. Local departments of health are city-county,
county, or multi-county organizations operated by local governments. LHDs
develop
partnerships with private, volunteer, and government health organizations in
providing public health services directly to local citizens.
