At Lone Peak Hospital, We Show Up to support the communities we serve and help build healthier tomorrows!

On April 25, we were proud to partner with Girl Scouts of Utah for Girl Scouts Give Back Day, hosting events at multiple locations across our network and throughout the state. Together, we helped address food insecurity by assembling snack packs for students and families who need it most.

We’re honored to work alongside Girl Scouts of Utah and our colleagues to make a meaningful difference in our communities! As a special thank-you, participants received a commemorative patch to celebrate their impact.
