The current version of Project SHARE came to an end in May 2024. We are so grateful to everyone involved in launching and coordinating this program! We will maintain this website for another year, until May 2025. We encourage folks to access the resources listed on our website in the “Resources” and connect with an Insurance Navigator or to CoverAZ.
About Project SHARE:
The Center for Rural Health (CRH) recruits Tucson health professional students to participate in SHARE. This is an opportunity for healthcare and public health students to 1) learn to navigate the healthcare system and 2) become a leader for health.
SHARE provides Health Insurance 101 Trainings and attends Outreach Fairs to reach the uninsured and under-insured. SHARE helps consumers understand health insurance coverage at events held across Pima County and refer consumers to Certified Assisters to help them obtain coverage.
