An update to the Flagstaff Regional Plan 2030 (FRP30), to bring its Road Network Illustration (Map 25) into compliance with Arizona Revised Statute requirements and to resolve inconsistencies between Map 25 and parts of the Flagstaff City Code. This update does not alter the intent of FRP30; it is only concerned with correcting errors, removing legal vulnerability, and improving the readability of FRP30.

The Arizona Chronic Disease Strategic Plan is a 3-year plan designed to address chronic disease prevention and control. The plan was developed by Arizona stakeholders, both those who currently are and are not engaged in chronic disease prevention and control. To ensure the plan is not “top down” and driven by priorities identified by the state health department, community stakeholders were engaged in developing this strategic plan from the start. This plan was created through a community process and represents voices from across the state.

This plan outlines a comprehensive approach to reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease through the most efficient, cost-effective, and evidence-based strategies available. This plan supports current efforts in primary prevention and proposes new primary prevention activities that are specific to cardiovascular disease. The majority of the plan addresses secondary prevention efforts and controlling risk factors in those who already have cardiovascular disease.

This plan is intended to provide state level agencies, communities, health care providers, funding agencies, organizations, policy and decision makers, and consumers' direction and support in creating a system of care that proactively addresses the prevention, early detection, and treatment of chronic disease in Arizona. It is hoped the framework presented will encourage the development of partnerships to promote a comprehensive and integrated approach to reducing mortality and morbidity due to chronic disease.

For kids 5 and younger in early learning programs, success is largely determined by the knowledge and skills of their teachers, and by the quality of the interactions with those educators. This publication describes how Arizona continues to struggle in educational attainment, wages and retention of its early learning workforce. It also offers recommendations for parents, providers, policymakers and other stakeholders on how we can all better support those responsible for helping infants, toddlers and preschoolers get ready for school and set for life!

This report provides baseline report on the current state of parents’ knowledge about children’s early development and parents’ perceptions of the resources currently available for young children and their families in Arizona. The results help identify parents’ current knowledge about early development as well as the areas in which families need additional support to access needed services for their child/children.

Through surveys and interviews, this publication reveals that parents – regardless of income, education levels and ethnic background – basically want the same things from their child care providers: a safe, nurturing learning environment. The study also reveals that many parents face challenges in finding information about child care options in their communities, care that meets all of their expectations, and resources to pay for early learning programs.
