ALTABANK Altabank recently completed its annual book drive for Intermountain Health’s Reach Out and Read Program. The month-long drive brought in 1,315 books. Studies show that children who read with and to their family members experience greater emotional and intellectual well-being. Reach Out and Read provides books for Intermountain Health pediatricians to give to their patients, aged infant to third grade, to facilitate reading together. Altabank has underwritten the program since 2020.
