Health Sciences Advocates
Mission
The mission of the University of Utah Health Sciences Advocates is to provide a body of community leaders who will help create an active, learning environment allowing members or representatives of the constituencies of the University of Utah Health Sciences to interact with and learn about the world class resources, whether people, facilities, or programs, to which the community has access. The hope and goal is that having learned of these resources, the Health Sciences Advocates will support and be the advocates of the University of Utah Health Sciences.
