  • Masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer available to all individuals waiting
  • Assistive technology like tablets for telehealth and social online visits available to all individuals waiting
  • Meals on Wheels available to individuals waiting that are 22 years of age and older

We are grateful for the priority that Utah’s state legislators, with leadership from Representative Eliason and Representative Gibson and the Governor’s support have placed upon advocating for individuals with disabilities on the waiting list by approving this funding.
