Being involved in the communities we serve is fundamental to Intermountain’s core value of community stewardship. Healthcare is directly affected by policies set by local, state, and federal government. While Intermountain will never endorse any political party or candidate, Intermountain encourages caregivers to reach out and become involved in the grass roots processes of the political party that most closely aligns with your views.
To learn more about how you may become involved in Utah’s political processes, Government Relations and Marketing and Communications are teaming up to host “Utah Caregivers to Caucus” trainings. The trainings will teach caregivers about the caucus system in Utah and how to navigate it. While these trainings will only deal with the Utah process, Intermountain encourages caregivers in Idaho and Nevada to also be involved in their state political process. Here’s the schedule for the Utah virtual training sessions:
- Tuesday, February 1, at 7 a.m.
- Friday, February 4, at 2 p.m.
- Tuesday, February 8, at noon
- Wednesday, February 9, at 6 p.m.
All interested caregivers are encouraged to participate. Each training will be led by Bill Barnes, federal government relations director, and will last 30 minutes. For more information or to sign up for a training, please email stephanie.maloney@imail.org the date and time you’d like to be included.
Republican neighborhood caucuses in Utah are scheduled for Tuesday, March 8, at 7 p.m. with locations and more information available on your county’s Republican Party website. You must be a registered Republican to vote at the Republican Caucus or to serve as a Republican delegate. You can register that evening, if you like, and don’t have to register to attend Democrat caucuses dates and times vary by county, and you may contact the Utah Democratic Party by emailing mail@utdem.org and find more information at utahdemocrats.org or by contacting your County Democratic party. If you align with a different party, you can find out how they’re handling their caucuses directly from that party. More information about Utah elections and how to register to vote is available at www.vote.utah.gov.
