Within the Arizona Department of Health Services, Division of Public Health, the Bureau of Health Systems Development and Oral Health (HSDOH) is responsible for activities associated with the implementation of A.R.S. § 36-2352. HSDOH is responsible for assisting communities in obtaining both state and federal shortage designations. Additionally, HSDOH manages the Arizona Loan Repayment Programs established by A.R.S. § 36-2172 and A.R.S. § 36-2174. The Arizona Loan Repayment Programs provide incentives in the form of loan repayment for primary health care providers to work in medically underserved areas. Non-Department programs that require AzMUA designation include: the Arizona Medical Student Loan Program under A.R.S. Title 15, Chapter 13, Article 7; priority consideration by the University of Arizona School of Medicine under A.R.S. § 15-1751 for applicants who demonstrate a willingness to practice in the state's underserved areas; use of health crisis fund monies under A.R.S. § 36-797 for "basic health services delivery disruptions, caused by unforeseen circumstances"; and the establishment of health services districts under A.R.S § 48-2201.

The condensed version of the 2008 AzMUA Report provides the name of the geographic designated medically underserved area and lists the towns, places and communities that comprise the area. The complete version of the 2008 AzMUA Report provides the information listed above and additional detail by listing block identifiers that compose the given designated medically underserved area. Both versions contain the same narrative and can be found at http://www.azdhs.gov/hsd/profiles/reports.htm A.R.S. § 36-2352 requires that a report be produced every two years for the purposes of providing an update related to criteria and recommended changes to the primary care index, a list of current designated Arizona Medically Underserved Areas, and a summary of resources provided to communities based on the Arizona Medically Underserved Area designation.
