Our vision

Improving health and health care across Arizona.

Producing more doctors and nurses for Arizona. Affordable health care clinics throughout the state. Advances in medical research that will lead to new breakthrough treatments. Helping people to have better health. All that, and more, is part of ASU Health.

And it all is part of AZ Healthy Tomorrow, a joint effort of the state’s three public universities led by the Arizona Board of Regents to improve health outcomes for people in this rapidly growing state. Without action, Arizona will fall further behind.
