Honors
The Martha Hughes Cannon Health Building in Salt Lake City, housing the Utah State Department of Health, was dedicated in her honor in 1986. An eight-foot-high bronze statue of Dr. Cannon by Laura Lee Stay Bradshaw, dedicated in 1996, was housed in the Utah Capitol Rotunda. Her grandson, Robert J. Cannon, spoke at the dedication. After the Utah Capitol rededication in 2008, the bronze statue of Dr. Cannon was moved to the foyer of the Utah State Senate building on Utah Capitol Hill.
