Uterine fibroids — noncancerous growths in or on the uterus — affect many Utahns, and this bill directs the Utah Department of Health and Human Services to coordinate research and education about them through 2030, covering topics such as how often fibroids are diagnosed in Utah, what treatments are being used, how many hysterectomies are performed due to fibroids, and how fibroids affect reproductive health. The department must also educate both patients and health care providers about available treatment options beyond hysterectomy, may partner with medical research organizations and share health data to support these efforts, and must report findings and policy recommendations to the legislature in 2028 and 2029.
