Annual Report- Public Health Highlights

Dear Friends in Tooele County,

Thank you so much for the warm welcome you have extended to me and my family. “Transition” seems to be a theme, not just for me, but for the whole county. Our Department Vision is a guide for me joining the team and with the growth of the county:

“Healthy and safe communities that allow all individuals to reach their full potential.”

I have told our team that in order to achieve this vision, we need to be sure to have a “healthy and safe workplace that allows all employees to reach their full potential.”

This way, we are on this journey together as staff, partners, neighbors, and communities. This way, we can strengthen our roots, history, and shared values. This way, as Tooele County Health Department, we can truly “enhance the health and well-being of Tooele County.” 

As you can see in this Annual Report, we do this through Administrative Services, Women Infants & Children (WIC), Aging Services, Emergency Services, Healthy Smiles Dental Clinic, Environmental Health, Prevention Services, Health Promotion, Community Nursing, and Mass Transit — as we grow as a county.

It is an honor to serve Tooele County, alongside the capable and experienced Health Department staff, to fulfill our Community Health Improvement Plan as we all reach to achieve our full potential. Please let us know how we can best realize this vision with you.

Sincerely,

Grant Sunada, PhD, MPH

Executive Director/Health Officer
