Healthy Starts Here

AZ Health Zone (AZHZ), a collaboration between Arizona Department of Health Services and Coconino County Health and Human services (CCHHS), provides free nutrition and healthy living education to income eligible women and children (ages 0-5).

If you are looking for guidance and education on your path to living a healthy lifestyle, you don't have to do it alone. We provide courses in-person and online to women who are income eligible. If you qualify for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly referred to as food stamps, you are eligible for our program. Arizona Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) clients are also eligible. Contact us at 855-777-8590 or email to learn more about our classes and to see if you qualify.

In addition to providing classes to eligible members of the public, AZHZ works closely with schools, childcare centers, cities, and towns in our effort to promote healthy living and reduce disease.
