This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Get Healthy Utah is a nonprofit founded in 2015 dedicated to making healthy living the default choice in Utah. They partner with communities, leaders and organizations to promote active living, healthy eating and overall wellbeing statewide. Executive Director, Alysia Ducuara, joins us with more.
Alysia Ducuara:
At Get Healthy Utah, we believe every community can make the healthy choice the default choice.
Through our Healthy Utah Community designation, we celebrate cities and towns that prioritize health in planning, policy and community design — whether it’s expanding parks, creating safer streets for walking and biking, building community gardens or supporting meaningful, lasting social connection for residents.
This designation isn’t just recognition — it’s a platform for sharing best practices, inspiring other communities and connecting with businesses and organizations invested in a healthier Utah for future generations.
Today, over 65 communities across the state have earned this honor, implementing more than 600 strategies to support physical activity, healthy eating and mental wellbeing.
Businesses and organizations can be a part of this movement. Partner with us, share your expertise and help build healthier, thriving communities across Utah. Together, we can Get Utah Healthy.
