Creating a healthier Arizona, together 🌵 By strengthening Civic Health, Housing, and Health Care Integration, we’re focusing on areas to create a thriving Arizona. Here’s how these three areas build a healthier community: ✔️ When people engage in community activities like voting, volunteering, and supporting local projects, they create stronger, more resilient neighborhoods—this is Civic Health. ✔️Stable and affordable housing is the foundation of well-being, especially in a challenging market. Many families face tough choices between housing and essentials like food and healthcare. ✔️ Health includes physical, mental, and social aspects working together. Integrated care connects these areas, making it easier for people to access comprehensive, coordinated support. Together, these areas form the foundation for a stronger, healthier Arizona where everyone has a fair chance at well-being.

Happy National Philanthropy Day! Today, we’re grateful for the many incredible coalitions and organizations we partner with who are helping make Arizona a healthier place for everyone.

Whether it’s registering to volunteer, donating, or spreading the word, every contribution counts. Let’s work together to create a healthier Arizona for everyone.

🇺🇸 Honoring those who have served and continue to serve our country. And we’d like to take this moment to recognize an organization that supports veterans and their families year-round: the Arizona Coalition for Military Families. They go beyond traditional support by addressing critical needs like mental health, employment, housing stability, and family support, tackling many issues impacting our military community. If you or someone you know could benefit from their assistance, reach out to see how they can help!

Meet The COCONINO COALITION FOR CHILDREN & YOUTH, a 2023 recipient of last year’s System Change Grant! 🌟 Their work is making a lasting impact by: 1. Collaborating with others: They work alongside various organizations, joining forces for a shared purpose that brings diverse strengths to the table. 2. Targeting a specific health outcome: Their focus is on creating self-healing communities through trauma-informed systems that acknowledge individual experiences to improve northern Arizona communities. 3. Using a systems change approach: They tackle the root causes of inequitable systems and racial inequities by developing, in conjunction with the City of Flagstaff and the County, a mental model change ensuring resilience information is understood at City and County levels and enacted as policy change. 4. Prioritizing health equity: They ensure that everyone they serve has fair and equitable treatment. Want to drive systems change in your community?
