The Big Picture
University of Utah Health’s role reaches well beyond the care delivered in a clinic or hospital. Across Utah, the Mountain West and beyond, its work also includes preparing the health workforce of the future and advancing research and innovation.
What’s Happening
A broader look at University of Utah Health includes more than patient care. The organization helps build the future workforce, conducts research and pursues innovations that can improve health. Its work also reaches into life sciences and biomedical devices—areas that are connected to health care but extend beyond care delivery itself.
Why It Matters
When University of Utah Health is viewed only as a provider of patient care, much of its role can be overlooked. Workforce development, research and innovation are also part of how the organization contributes to Utah and the wider region. Recognizing that broader work gives a fuller picture of its reach and purpose.
The Bottom Line
University of Utah Health is more than a health care provider. It cares for patients, helps prepare the next generation of the workforce, and contributes to research and innovation in fields ranging from health care to life sciences and biomedical devices. Its impact extends across Utah, the Mountain West and beyond.
