Health in All Policy Initiative

The Health in All Policy Initiative (or HAPI grant) partners with Pinal Gila Council for Senior Citizens to conduct chronic disease self-management workshops and caregiver support programs.

The overall goal of the program is to address the four leading causes of death in Arizona.
