McCabe says AzHHA is also focused on supporting the state’s health care workforce (this year, for instance, the organization advocated for the recently passed House Bill 2691, which expands resources for the nurse workforce pipeline) and advancing health equity.

“Across the organization more broadly, we’re really focused on a few health equity projects around maternal health [and] around addressing health disparities resulting from COVID-19. So that work is … a top focus area for us.”
