The Community Health Program is comprised of community-based health care providers who follow-up and offer continued contact with the health care delivery systems at the community level and promote health promotion/disease prevention activities.
We strive to advocate, educate, inform and promote healthy holistic lifestyles, incorporating culturally appropriate values and health concepts within our community. In the provision of services, the Community Health Representatives coordinate and work closely with various Federal, State, County, and Local service agencies (i.e. AHCCCS, ALTCHS, IHS, etc.)
