The coronavirus pandemic has devastated lives and stretched our medical community.

Together, we will beat the coronavirus and take the lessons from 2020 to prepare for the next public health crisis.
Beyond fighting COVID-19, Gov. Cox is committed to addressing youth suicide, preventing bullying and improving mental health resources. We need to ensure that all Utahns have access to quality, affordable health care.
