How COVID-19 affects UATP services.
Check back, we'll update this as our circumstances change.
UPDATED 8-3-2020.
The changes to our operations will continue until further notice.

Our Logan and Uintah Basin locations will continue operating by appointment. Call us! We may be able to help you over the phone or video chat, or by appointment. For more information contact Cameron Cressall in the Uintah Basin and Dan O'Crowley in Logan.

UATP thanks all those who helped us produce face shields for health care workers.
The university and community members have teamed up to produce and distribute more than 1650 face shields to health care workers and first responders, some of whom are in very rural areas. We are now directing those who would like to produce face shields to UserveUtah. They have drop boxes in Logan, Salt Lake City, Panguitch, Provo, Fairview, Ogden, Enoch and Delta.
