Letters from your state epidemiologist

Letters from your state epidemiologist

Welcome! My job as the Utah state epidemiologist is to take data and figure out what it means for the health of Utahns. This series is my way to share that information with everyone. I want to give everyone in Utah information they can use to be as healthy as possible. In this series I will take data we have in the Utah Department of Health and Human Services and explain what it means to me. I will let you know what I worry about and what reassures me. I hope these letters help you understand what you should be concerned about and what you can do to stay healthy. Click on any topic below and watch for more to come!
