Arizona

Our vision is for Arizona to become the healthiest state in the country—and to help show a way forward for other states.

We will get there with a statewide coalition, committed to empowering individuals to substantially improve their health—starting with school-based approaches with children. 

Healthy Students Healthy State is the essential foundation to get there.

If you are not from Arizona:  ls your state ready to do whatever it takes  to reverse the child inactivity, unhealthy nutrition, and mental health epidemics—K-12 & statewide? 

Whether you are from Arizona or another state:  We want to talk to you! 

Healthy Students Healthy State citizen & stakeholder statewide governance will ensure that we scale up our proven evidence-based strategies, and that they are implemented effectively throughout the state. 

(There will likely be a special focus initially on lower-income Title 1 schools with the greatest needs—and potential savings—utilizing Medicaid waiver monies as well as some state monies.)

But given how widespread health risks have become, we need to move quickly to empower all Arizona schools and children to improve health.
