Association For Utah Health

Story

As the Primary Care Association in Utah, The Association for Utah Community Health (AUCH) cultivates access to primary health care for all residents throughout our diverse state. We support and represent our members through advocacy, training and technical assistance, and patient education. AUCH is designated by the Federal Bureau of Primary Health Care as the state primary care association and receives federal program support to develop and enhance services for members.

The Association for Utah Community Health, formed in 1985, is the voice of Utah’s community health centers and their patients. Our organization represents over 40 not-for-profit community clinics who provide quality health care services including medical, dental, and behavioral health, particularly for low-to-moderate income, uninsured or underinsured Utahns who might otherwise not have access to health care. Our members include federal health center grantees and other providers who strive to meet the needs of all Utah citizens in rural and urban areas. AUCH and our statewide network of community health centers reduce barriers to health care by enhancing primary care service delivery through prevention, health promotion, and community participation.
