CHNA Partner,


The 2026 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) is progressing, and we are providing updates to keep you informed along the way!

All CHNA Focus Groups and Key Informant Interviews have been completed! Thank you to the numerous community members who lent their voices and perspectives, and to the organizations that helped coordinate the interviews.


For the final piece of 2026 data collection, our team is collecting surveys for the Community Partner Assessment. Using the Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) 2.0 framework, this assessment gives insight into partners’ individual systems, processes, and capacities, as well as the collective capacity of the network of community partners.

Partner Corner

Through CHNA work and beyond, we are able to strengthen relationships with a variety of organizations that serve communities throughout the county. Part of how we strengthen these relationships is by passing along partner updates and requests to provide an avenue for sharing and receiving information.


Partner Updates and Requests:


ClipDart

Our partners at ClipDart have a new platform, and we wanted to share more information. After providing 40,000+ free haircuts across 32 states, ClipDart is making affordable, convenient, and culturally competent haircare more accessible to everyone through its all-in-one platform, ClipDart.io.


Starting at just $20, people can book appointments at local shops and salons, schedule on-site group sessions, attend community haircare events, and connect with hair professionals for personalized consultations. The platform also features a first-of-its-kind haircut donation system that lets people donate haircuts to others. Explore the platform at ClipDart.io.

Search for Community Hub Locations

We have heard from a few community organizations that are:

  • Looking for new locations to rent as a host site
  • Free spaces they can use for meetings and other activities

If you are aware of any spaces, preferably in Central or South Phoenix, please let us know by sending an email to maricopahealthmatters@maricopa.gov.




Navigating Change: Advice for Behavioral Health Provider

Are you a behavioral health provider who is experiencing challenges with team morale due to recent requirement changes and loss of clientele? How have you been managing team morale during these ever-changing times? A community partner is seeking advice from others experiencing similar events. To share your experiences and advice, please send an email to maricopahealthmatters@maricopa.gov to be connected.

If you would like to connect with a member of our team for questions or support, please email us at maricopahealthmatters@maricopa.gov. Thank you for being a CHNA Champion!
