Four Priorities, One Healthier Arizona
We make our state’s greatest health challenges our priority.
The Foundation partners with changemakers to improve mental health, chronic
conditions, health equity, and overcome substance use disorder.
Preventing and Managing Conditions, Empowering Arizonans
Conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer are among the most common and costly health challenges facing Arizonans. We’re tackling these issues by expanding access to screenings, support, and lifestyle management.
In 2024, the AZ Blue Foundation helped provide more than 800,000 preventive services and screenings, and hundreds of A1C tests and risk assessments.
Why It Matters
Chronic conditions will likely impact someone you love - if they haven’t already. From managing daily life to medical bills, the Foundation is taking action to ease the burden on affected families.
- 1 in 10 Arizonans are living with diabetes
- The direct and indirect costs of diabetes in Arizona are an estimated $6.7 billion a year
- Heart disease, cancer, and diabetes rank within the top ten leading causes of death in Arizona
