"A new study has put an exclamation point on the importance of the cleanest air possible for Utah students," Brian Moench, president of @UtahPhysicians, writes for @DNewsOpinion. deseret.com/opinion/2023/7…

Next weekend!!!! Who's going?

Please spread the word quickly to teachers, administrators and childcare workers! Email jake@uphe to order for K-12 schools. Email ella@uphe to order for a state-licensed childcare facility.

The good news is about 70% of Utah schools are now participating in the program. The bad news is 30% are not. The federal grant that funded the program expires at the end of July and that means time is running out for about 240,000 Utah children to be included!

Time is running out to participate in the UDHHS FREE air purifier program for Utah schools and state-licensed childcares! deseret.com/opinion/2023/7…

Please also CALL Governor Cox's office. This is too dangerous a project to let slip through without speaking out! 801-538-1000
