Health plays an important role in almost every decision made – whether the decision is made by an individual, family, business, city, county or state government agency. Because maintaining health is so important in today’s society, the 15 Arizona county health departments, along with the Arizona Department of Health Services proudly introduce www.arizonahealthmatters.org.
“Public Health is ready to move to the next level. We need to begin offering simple, practical public health ideas for decision makers to consider. Counties and communities need new tools to help develop priorities and goals for the people who live there,” said Director Will Humble, Arizona Department of Health Services. “This website provides easy access to the most up-to-date information in a simple, comprehensive manner.”
ArizonaHealthMatters.org provides access to unbiased data, local resources and a wealth of information in one user-friendly location. The site allows users to search for statewide data or specific county information about a variety of topics from cancer to cholesterol.
The website’s goal is to give communities the tools they need to read and understand how public health is affecting the quality of residents’ lives. The tools can also help those communities set goals and evaluate progress to improve the quality of life.
The design of www.arizonahealthmatters.org allows the newest information to be incorporated whenever it is published, providing the most current snapshot of a community. Arizona is working with Healthy Communities Institute’s team of scientists, researchers, technologists, community development experts and business people who are committed to providing technology to support community health development.
