VIDEO: A groundbreaking new clinic dedicated to screening firefighters for cancer has officially opened its doors, marking a major milestone in Utah’s fight to protect those who protect us. The Utah Firefighter Health & Wellness Center, launched by the Utah Firefighter Cancer Initiative, is now offering what experts call the most comprehensive firefighter cancer screening program in the nation. The center’s mission is clear: catch cancer early, save lives.
The center’s opening comes just six months after the Utah Legislature unanimously passed H.B. 65, a bill that provides three years of funding for the initiative. The legislation positions Utah as a national leader in firefighter health and safety. Research shows firefighters face cancer rates up to seven times higher than the general population. For Lehi Fire Chief Jeremy Craft, that statistic became personal.
