The Northern Arizona Healthcare Foundation is seeking applications for its Northern Arizona Community Health Grant program to address health priorities in northern Arizona: improving behavioral health outcomes, mitigating the impacts of chronic conditions, and increasing access to quality care.

Together, the Northern Arizona Healthcare Foundation and The NARBHA Institute commissioned the Center for Health Equity Research at Northern Arizona University to conduct a comprehensive assessment of health needs in their region.  Through this process, they learned about the health issues their communities face, the causes of those issues, and the availability of resources to address them.

At the Foundation, they raise funds to affect change so these needs can be addressed. The aim is to increase the quantity and quality of health programs, services, and other resources to help members of the communities we serve overcome challenges associated with chronic illness, behavioral health, and access to quality healthcare.
