The AHCCCS Office of Individual and Family Affairs (OIFA) and the Office of Human Rights (OHR) hold community meetings each month to help members, families, and stakeholders learn about programs and initiatives, and to solicit feedback. We ask you to share this information with your patients, clients, families, and stakeholders so they can better understand Arizona’s Medicaid services and how to find community resources and tools.
