In 2024, South Jordan proudly received the Healthy Utah Community designation, recognizing our city’s commitment to promoting physical, mental, and social well-being. The City’s initiatives encourage residents by supporting active lifestyles, healthy food access, and mental well-being. These efforts include the SoJo Race Series, the Winter Fitness Challenge, the Farmers Market, and senior meal programs.

This milestone also marked the launch of our Healthy South Jordan coalition, further solidifying South Jordan as a place where residents thrive in every aspect of health and wellness.
