We provide high-quality, affordable sexual and reproductive health care for Utahns/people in six health centers across the state.
At PPAU, care is much more than the health, education, and advocacy services we provide; it’s the way we approach our world with compassion and a constant desire to improve. We care with kindness, respect, and are passionate about helping adults and teens of all genders, sexual orientations, races, religions, ethnicities, abilities, and cultural backgrounds lead healthy lives.
