| Our Services |
Utah Partners for Health currently offers access to primary healthcare services for acute, chronic, and mental illnesses. Ancillary services such as lab work, radiology, ultrasound, pulmonology, and physical therapy are also available. Other services including counseling, pharmaceutical, dental, and eye care are provided for those who qualify. See below for more information about our access to prenatal care services and access via our partnering mobile medical clinic.
Our healthcare clinics are open seven days a week and allow access to care on a same day or next day basis. The community impact that UPFH has in Salt Lake County is remarkable, with an average growth in patients seen each year at about 75% annually. | |

| Our Care |
The licensed healthcare providers who provide services funded by Utah Partners for Health are some of the best healthcare providers in Utah. Our providers donate an average of 67% of their customary billing charges to Utah Partners for Health to allow for the greatest benefit from every dollar donated to the organization.
All decisions made by our healthcare providers in the delivery of care and services are made in the patient's best interest with a respect for the dignity, privacy, desires, culture, and choices of the patient and family. Services are appropriate, flexible, and sufficient in duration and scope to meet the needs of each patient.
Individuals in the medically underserved community who receive charitable medical care through funds provided by Utah Partners for Health will be encouraged to contribute to their healthcare to the extent they are able. The small co-pay required is a component of our model and allows others in the community to be served. |

| Eligibility For Care |
Utah Partners for Health will limit its benefits to individuals who comprise low income and medically underserved residents in Magna and surrounding communities. Our mobile medical unit also provides access to healthcare to anyone residing in Salt Lake County and Wendover, Utah. The "underserved community" are those individuals in need who cannot afford medical care covered by traditional insurance carriers.

| The mission of Utah Partners for Health is to deliver access to healthcare to the growing number of underserved and uninsured who do not qualify for federal or state healthcare programs. This growing population consists of young families, single parents, the elderly, immigrants, and other medically underserved individuals. In many cases they are our neighbors, friends, and relatives who are caught in the gap of not having insurance and therefore avoid seeking healthcare. |
