About DHHS
Problem Statement
The current health and human services model and accompanying policies have led to a fragmented system of services creating unnecessary barriers and challenges to accessing care for those most in need. These systemic challenges contribute to inequities in health outcomes and determinants of health. A consolidated department will reduce these challenges and improve outcomes for all Utahns, particularly those within communities where disparities are greatest.
Vision
All Utahns have fair and equitable opportunities to live safe and healthy lives.
Mission
The Utah Department of Health and Human Services will support and serve all individuals and communities throughout Utah. It will do so through effective policy and the operations of an effective and efficient seamless system of services and programs that is centered around the individuals and communities the department serves.
How we get there
We will:
Ensure quality care, services, and programs are accessible where and when they’re needed.
Foster safe and supportive environments.
Improve health outcomes, both physical and mental.
Create a high-quality and efficient department.
Build public trust in DHHS.
