From 2022 to 2024, the AzCRH supported the Arizona Department of Health Service (ADHS) Arizona Health Improvement Plan (AzHIP) Rural & Urban Underserved Health priority area through an Interagency Services Agreement (ISA). AzHIP provides a structure for a networked system of partners to improve the health of communities and individuals across Arizona. The entire 2021-25 AzHIP can be found at azdhs.gov. The AzCRH specifically worked on the strategy to “address health professional shortages by building a diverse healthcare workforce” and tactic A of this strategy, “develop strategies to reduce financial and other barriers for underserved students in health professions/provider education programs.” This page includes two reports that were submitted to ADHS as part of the project deliverables. This reports are intended to inform the AzHIP network as they work to improve the health of communities in Arizona.
