Who it's for
The Davis County Health Department runs senior services for Davis County.

Programs include Alternatives in-home services, caregiver support, support groups, the Veterans Directed Care Program and Medicaid waivers. Davis County also runs Rides4Health, curb-to-curb rides to medical visits for Davis County residents age 60 and older who cannot drive. The ride is free, but a $5.00 donation per trip is suggested; call 801-525-5061 to schedule.
