Primary Care Day on the Hill 2024 saw the first annual Primary Care Day on the Hill, organized and sponsored by UAFP, the Association for Utah Community Health (AUCH) and Utah Public Health Association (UPHA). Over 20 different organizations tabled and showcased the incredible work of Utah’s various primary care providers. Groups were able to spend valuable time sharing their messages and policy priorities with legislators and visitors at the Capitol. We look forward to making this an annual event. Advocacy Day Our annual advocacy day looked a bit different this year as we joined the Utah Public Health Association for important updates on legislation, policy issues, healthcare trends in Utah, etc. Our CEO, Maryann Martindale, led a roundtable discussion with legislators, including Reps. Dailey-Provost, Loubet and Stoddard. This was a fun and educational day during the session, and we enjoyed having family physicians join us on the hill.
