I am sorry to learn of the passing of Karen Huntsman.

Karen made a mark in so many ways though a deep commitment to family and community. I appreciate her and her family’s deep commitment to advancing mental health solutions and cancer research, as primary passions. On a personal note, I will miss her kindness and grace.

Businesswoman and philanthropist Karen Huntsman died this week. The University of Utah honors her accomplishments and legacy.

Salt Lake County was proud to help bring the new "Rooted Together" History Walk at Holladay City Park to life.

Blending storytelling, public art, and community space, this beautiful outdoor museum honors Holladay's history through a meaningful monument and seating area overlooking the baseball field.

I encourage you to visit this new space to reflect, gather, and connect with the stories that helped shape the community.

Last week I joined Jen Campbell and Tyler Clancy to talk about domestic violence — the leading cause of homicide in Utah. That’s a fact more people should know.

Salt Lake County is changing how we respond. Better training for law enforcement. More resources for survivors. And stepping in earlier, before a crisis gets worse.

This work matters. We’re not waiting.

Strategy turned into action.

It impacts our air quality, access to food, and water supply. Salt Lake County Health Department hosted our Annual Climate & Health Symposium. We brought together experts, officials, and community organizations to continue the vital conversations around the future of our environment and public health.

3,200 pinwheels are scattered across the front lawn of the Salt Lake City and County building to raise awareness of child abuse. I joined Salt Lake City Mayor Mendenhall, The Family Support Center, and Prevent Child Abuse Utah to raise awareness to protect our most vulnerable community members, children. When we come together to make a commitment to helping children, prevention is possible.
