Coalville native Rory Swensen never imagined he would one day serve as mayor of his hometown, though he’s been interested in government since his teenage years. “I stepped forward because this feels like an important moment,” he says. “Managing growth thoughtfully helps families stay healthy and connected.” That same community-first mindset shapes his work as co-owner of Peak Medical in Park City.
Alongside clinician Amie Clark, Rory focuses on evidence-based wellness care, including hormone optimization, medically supervised weight loss and IV infusion therapy. His commitment is personal. After being diagnosed with pituitary failure, he experienced firsthand how frustrating — and complicated — navigating care can be. “When your body isn’t cooperating and you feel tired and discouraged, it affects everything,” he says. Appropriate hormone treatment made a significant difference for him and deepened his empathy for patients seeking answers and renewed energy.
Rory studied pre-med at the University of Utah before shifting to the business side of healthcare when he and his wife began raising their family. “Another decade of school wasn’t in the cards,” he says with a smile. He opened his first clinic in 2012 and co-founded Peak Medical in 2018. In a community where outdoor recreation and longevity are part of the culture, helping people stay active is a natural fit.
His connection to the community extends well beyond the clinic. For 15 years, Rory has refereed high school football games under the Friday night lights — an experience he calls “therapeutic” because of the intense focus it requires. Time in the mountains with family is equally restorative. With a son in the performing arts, a daughter who once danced competitively, and two granddaughters now following suit, Rory jokes he’s learned his way around glitter.
Whether in public service, on the field, or in the clinic, his goal remains the same: helping people stay healthy and fully engaged in the communities they love.
