Active People, Healthy Utah Partner Group

Get Healthy Utah convened the Active People, Healthy Utah Partners Group in 2022 to support the CDC’s national goal of helping 27 million Americans become more physically active by 2027. Achieving this goal will require not only individual behavior changes, but systematic shifts in culture, infrastructure, and available resources.

The Active People, Healthy Utah Partners Group leads out on these systematic changes in Utah by convening leading experts from physical activity organizations across the state. The group champions best practices and supports communities to engage in cross-sector initiatives that are proven to have the greatest impact on physical activity.

Participating partners include Bike Utah, Intermountain Health, local health departments, the Office of Outdoor Recreation, Outdoor Afro, Shape Utah, University of Utah, Utah Department of Health and Human Services, Utah Department of Transportation, Utah Transit Authority, and more.
