Information about AACHC

The Arizona Alliance for Community Health Centers (AACHC) has served as the Primary Care Association for the state of Arizona since 1985. Our mission is to promote and facilitate the development and delivery of affordable and accessible community oriented, high-quality, culturally effective primary healthcare for everyone in the state of Arizona. This is accomplished through advocacy, education, and technical assistance.

Our central purpose is to support Arizona health centers in leading the provision of exceptional population based healthcare for the communities we serve.

The Directory is published as a guide to the community for low-cost primary healthcare options. It is intended to serve as a reference for state, local, public and private health and human service agencies, as well as students and potential healthcare providers searching for practice opportunities in Arizona. Due to the possibility of expansion of sites and services, and changes in personnel in the future, please refer to our website (www.aachc.org) for the most current information.
