Advancing Equitable Access to Healthcare in Arizona
About the Alliance
The Arizona Alliance for Community Health Centers (the Alliance) is the Primary Care Association (PCA) for Arizona. We exist to support and grow the healthcare safety net that includes health centers, Look-alikes, and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), collectively referred to as Community Health Centers (CHCs), as well as organizations interested in becoming health centers.
We believe every Arizonan deserves quality primary healthcare. A nonprofit member organization, the Alliance supports the vital work of CHCs by providing health center staff with training, technical assistance, programmatic support, and advocacy.
We also drive health center growth by assessing unmet needs at both local and statewide levels and identifying opportunities for CHCs to be part of the solution. We work collaboratively with health centers to develop strategies that leverage their unique community-driven model to meet those needs.
Our Mission:
Advance the vital work of Community Health Centers to serve the unique needs of our communities
Our Vision:
Equitable access to high-quality healthcare for everyone
The Alliance works with CHCs to:
- Advance CHC programmatic, clinical, and financial operations
- Cultivate a forum for collaboration and growth, amplifying the collective CHC impact on health in Arizona
- Serve as the connection point between CHCs, legislators, Medicaid, the state health department; and other local, state, and federal agencies
- Support CHCs in anticipating and responding to the ever-evolving healthcare environment, with specific focus on value-based care delivery and regulatory changes
- Create economies of scale through resource sharing and group purchasing
- Galvanize support for CHCs through grassroots advocacy
- Be a voice for CHCs and their patients
