Measure under development.

This measure shows the percentage breakdown of total funding for the Division of Population Health. State funds include money allocated to DPH activities from the Utah Legislative Budget (includes General and Restricted Funds), federal funds include money awarded to Utah from federal grants or cooperative agreements with federal agencies, and private funds which include dedicated credits, expendable receipts, rebates and transfers). 

We only have access to the Utah budget, so national comparison data is not available.

 

Story Behind the Curve

The merge of the Department of Health and Department of Human Services restructured some of the divisions so funding from the Utah Public Health Lab and the Office of the Medical Examiner is no longer accounted for in the DPH budget, but EMS and Preparedness funds are now included.  Preparedness has over $10 million dollars of federal funding that would be considered contributing to public health services.  Additionally, there was an influx of federal funding to support public health activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

 

Epi Lab Capacity funding surrounding COVID-19 was considered as contributing to the Public Health Services. However, the majority of these funds were rescinded in March 2025, resulting in reduced federal support towards bolstering capacity to prevent and respond to future emerging infections. This is beginning to be reflected in the FY25 data and we anticipate it will continue to be evident in FY26 since it will reflect a full year of reduced funding.
