People’s Health Clinic recorded 21,448 patient encounters in 2025, compared with 4,500 in 2009. Its executive director told the Summit County Council that the clinic had grown 375% over that period; the first quarter of 2026 was up 19% from the same period a year earlier, according to the Park Record.
Patient demand and available capacity
The Park Record reported that the clinic treated more than 4,000 individual patients last year and offers 17 specialties, including pediatrics, psychiatry and cardiology. Its staffing includes nine full-time providers and more than 40 volunteer physicians. The outlet also reported that some volunteer doctors have limited schedules because the clinic lacks room to accommodate them more often.
A 2024 Summit County community health assessment offers broader context: 17% of respondents were uninsured, and half of uninsured respondents cited cost as the reason. The assessment drew more than 1,700 responses, representing a 4% participation rate, according to KPCW’s report on the preliminary findings.
Expansion plan and lease status
KPCW reported that the clinic expects to begin renovation work in Round Valley next May. It currently occupies 5,000 square feet and is expected to gain about 3,000 more. The county’s ground lease with Intermountain Health permits a clinic sublease of up to 12,500 square feet, according to KPCW’s account of the plan. The outlet also reported that the parties have not signed new leases, so the final arrangements remain unresolved.
The expansion is tied to a change in how county space will be used. KPCW reported that health department administrators are moving to the PEAK Center in Kimball Junction, while clinical services, environmental health services and emergency management and preparedness will remain at the Round Valley building.
Related mental-health service moves
The Sheldon Richins Building in Kimball Junction is slated for demolition and redevelopment, displacing Jacky’s Recovery Support Services and other mental-health providers. KPCW reported that Jacky’s will move to the water district offices in the Snyderville Basin, where the Wasatch Back mobile crisis outreach team is also based. The team, which responds to mental-health crises alongside or instead of police, became available around the clock in June, according to KPCW’s earlier report.
The Park Record previously reported that Jacky’s had also sought space in the Round Valley building. KPCW’s latest report says the county had considered using some of the newly available space for mental-health services, which are instead to be headquartered at the Mountain Regional Water building near Old Highway 40. These relocation plans, like the clinic’s final lease footprint, remain subject to agreements that have not yet been signed.
