But there wasn’t a unified voice representing the 4.2 million Arizonans living with a chronic health condition—until now. Arizona Chronic Care Together (ACT) seeks to shape policy decisions that protect every Arizonan's access to preventative, appropriate and affordable health care. The result: healthier communities and more productive individuals and families. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb346643047123ddca2380c/0fa3f9ea-b001-42e3-a474-a39f5d340b94/29_Cade.jpg About Us - Cindy Komar Founder & Executive Director Cindy has over 20 years of patient health nonprofit leadership experience.

Protests are one highly visible form of advocacy. But more often, lasting change is made through sustained engagement with state and local leaders about issues that impact your life. By sharing our collective stories, we can influence meaningful change within Arizona’s chronic care community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb346643047123ddca2380c/1607920345097-96L3VDELH89H36FM495U/legistlaturefloor.jpg What Is Advocacy? - Who We Try to Influence & Educate ACT seeks to influence: Policy makers who range in tenure and expertise. Executive staff in state government departments and the Governor’s Office. Members of boards, commissions, and think tanks who take a deeper look into complex issues and then present those options to various policy makers. Our work is particularly important for state legislators who are local citizens elected to serve part time. Often they do not have the time or resources to research and analyze complex healthcare issues—so we bring the issues to them through concise and meaningful personal stories, research and data https://www.actcoalitionaz.org/make-a-donation daily 0.75 2025-05-12
