The Arizona Health Improvement Plan (AzHIP) was updated in Fall 2023 with input from the AzHIP Steering Committee, community partners, and priority implementation team members. The AzHIP is a state-wide plan that focuses on five priorities:
• Health equity
• Social determinants of health
• Mental well-being
• Rural and urban underserved populations
• Pandemic recovery and resiliency
Televeda's collaboration with the project for July- September includes providing resources for improving mental well being. The goal of this section of the plan is to improve awareness of, and address, the impact of social isolation and loneliness on overall health.
The report reads, "The Arizona Department of Veterans Services (ADVS) continues to collaborate with Televeda in providing technology/digital access to veterans who live on tribal lands. ADVS is working with cell phone providers to determine which providers have the best cell service in specific areas. Tribal points of contact have also been solidified to ensure outreach and engagement of veteran participation."
Televeda is excited to continue to grow in this partnership and grow our mission of impacting vulnerable populations and improving mental health.
