USDC staff and residents were guests of honor at the 2026 American Fork Steel Days big show as the Grand Marshals. They enjoyed food, music, and introducing themselves on the main stage. Huge shout out to our residents that make USDC an amazing place to be and shout out to American Fork City for celebrating that with us!

Did you know that, in the past, many people passed away at USDC without a headstone to mark their final resting place?

At the Utah State Developmental Center, we call them our "Never Forgotten Angels."

The USDC Historical Committee is hosting our first Annual Bake Sale to change that. 🧁 All proceeds will go toward building a Memorial and Memory Garden—a sacred space to honor these individuals and provide a place of peace and reflection for our residents and the community.

Help us make sure their names and lives are remembered forever.
