Executive Summary & Core Findings Welcome to the 2018 Pima County Community Health Needs Assessment, also known as the CHNA. Since the enactment in 2010 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), which requires non-profit hospitals to assess and address the health needs of the communities they serve, Pima County’s nonprofit hospitals have taken a unified, collaborative approach to meeting these requirements by conducting a joint CHNA. Together with public health professionals,

  • Birds of Coniferous Forest on Mount Graham, Arizona
    Wilson Bull., 107(4), 1995, pp. 719-723 SHORT COMMUNICATIONS Birds of coniferous forest on Mount Graham, Arizona.-Because of interest in the effect upon the biota of Mount Graham by current development for astronomy, I repeated observations and censuses made there forty years ago. Avifaunal changes have occurred. Unlike my companion study in the Sierra Nevada (Marshall 1988), the losses at Mount Graham of nesting species-all at the lower altitudinal limit of Pinus Zeiophylla chihuahuana and P. ponderosa arizonica-lack an obvious connection to human interference with the environment. Study area.-Mount Graham, in southeastern Arizona, is capped with old growth Engel- mann spruce and alpine fir from 3000 m to the summit at 3267 m. This boreal forest of 8 km* is at its southernmost limits on the North American continent. Descending, one passes through other vegetation zones in sequence: Douglas firs and white firs mixed with spruce, and then mixed with Mexican white pines; south slopes of New Mexican locust and Gambel oak; ponderosa pine with Gambel oak, ponderosa pine mixed with silver-leaf oak; and finally Chihuahua pine with Arizona oak (Martin and Fletcher 1943, Hoffmeister 1956, Marshall 1957, Mohlenbrock 1987). From memory, notes, and photographs I detect no change in vegetation during the forty-year study period. Specifically, the trees at the mapped census area in Wet Canyon (Fig. 1) have not closed ranks about the little openings suitable for those foothill birds that forage among grasses, boulders, manzanitas, and nolinas. The mesic luxuriance of Mount Graham’s vegetation is shown by running streams sup- porting tall groves of maples, by the enormous Douglas firs that remain, by the profusion of understory flowers and green forbs, and by the gigantic stature of clear-trunked alders dominating Wet Canyon.

  • Southern Arizona, United States of America
    Southern Arizona, United States of America 2 – ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS Assessment and recommendations Southern Arizona region: from a resource-based economy to a knowledge-based economy Southern Arizona is the southern-most part of the state of Arizona in the United States. bordering the Mexican state of Sonora, with a multi-cultural heritage and a major gateway for trade with Mexico. The vast desert region consists of Pima County, Cochise County and Santa Cruz County, and has a population of approximately 1.2 million, accounting for 18% of the state population. The engine of the region’s development is the Tucson metropolitan area, the second largest metropolitan area in the state, just behind the Phoenix metropolitan area. About 23% of the land in Southern Arizona is owned by Native Americans, Tohono O’odham and Pascua Yaqui Nations, who continue to feature low education, labour market and health outcomes. Population growth is a major strength in the region, an opportunity for many industry sectors, but at the same time it poses cultural, economic and political challenges. Since World War II, Arizona has had one of the fastest growing populations in the United States. Between 1990 and 2000, Arizona experienced a 40.0% population increase which slowed down to 26.7% between 2000 and 2008. In Southern Arizona, the corresponding figures were 26.0% and 18.4%. Arizona has the fastest growing Hispanic population in the US, comprising about 25% of the state population and 27% of that of Southern Arizona. In Tucson, 40% of the residents identify themselves as Hispanic, while in Santa Cruz the majority of population are Hispanic.

  • 236 Pinaleño Mountains in the Twentieth Century Atalanta Hoyt
    Pinaleño Mountains in the Twentieth Century Atalanta Hoyt Throughout the twentieth century, a few major events dominated the history of the Forest Service. First, the founding of the National Forest Service in 1905 replaced the Bureau of Forestry and led to the creation of modern National Forests. The new service was created under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture with the purpose of securing a long term supply of timber for the American people.1 Second, the great depression of the 1930s, Franklin Roosevelt’s creation of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the expansion of the Forest Service changed the shape of National Forests.2 This time period featured a major transition from timber management to hands on putting resources into the forest. The Forest Service and CCC planted trees, carved trails, built roads, and conducted research; actively molding forests and applying the latest forestry techniques instead of letting the forest take its course.3 A third period of great change came in the 1970s during the environmental era.4 The emphasis changed from conceptualizing the forests as resources to be converted into marketable goods to seeing them as wilderness in need of preservation. While conservation has always been an important part of the Forest Service - advocated by both those who saw an intrinsic value in wilderness and by those who used the wilderness for recreational purposes - increased urbanization highlighted the uniqueness of forests. Efforts to catalog and protect the environments of forests became a main priority while ecologists and conservationists gained status.5 These three main shifts defined the Forest Service in the twentieth century.

  • THE PIVOT PLAYBOOK Redefining Our Economy in a Post-Pandemic World
    THE PIVOT PLAYBOOK Redefining Our Economy in a Post-Pandemic World Sponsored by: INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 pandemic has been as unprecedented and as challenging for our businesses as anything we have collectively faced in our professional lifetimes. At the same time, our community has stood its ground together to prevent the pandemic from putting a stop to the economic momentum we have generated over the last several years. To ensure that we, as a business community, come out of the pandemic as prepared and as strong as we possibly can be, the leadership of Sun Corridor Inc. has been working tirelessly to prepare a specific plan of action for the post-COVID-19 economic environment in our region. The Pivot Playbook is a formal action plan assembled by the COVID-19 Recovery & Response Steering Committee. The Steering Committee was tasked with identifying specific strategies and actions in five focus areas in response to a series of national rankings that have suggested that Southern Arizona is poised for a recovery that will be quicker and stronger than most. Those rankings confirm that the economies that will be successful in the post-pandemic environment are those that offer a high-quality pool of talent, innovative and effective workforce training, and connected and cost-effective real estate offerings. Site selectors and relocation consultants predict that the most dynamic recoveries may bypass traditional powerhouses and take place in areas – like Southern Arizona – that were poised for growth in 2020 before everything changed due to COVID-19. Southern Arizona’s size, population density, and proximity to the universities are the primary reasons we are considered well-positioned for recovery.
