Anchor Institutions & Partners

OgdenCAN is a coalition of local anchor institutions and partners committed to improving the health and well-being of our community. We are focused on health, education, built environment, economic stability and social fabric of the East Central Neighborhood. 

Anchor Institutions

Leadership by local anchors is what makes OgdenCAN special. Anchors are large organizations grounded in Weber County who have committed their energy to this neighborhood. They recognize their collective impact, understanding just how much can be accomplished when there is a collaborative spirit, common goal, and shared metrics.

Efforts originally began by examining what is already underway in each anchor organization, thoughtfully evaluating business practices, and then identifying ways to leverage existing resources.
