NAU Health Initiative
NAU Health is our university-wide commitment to improving health outcomes across Arizona, driven by the Arizona Healthy Tomorrow initiative and focused on education, access, and community impact.
NAU Health represents Northern Arizona University’s commitment to advancing health and well-being across Arizona and beyond. Fueled by the Arizona Board of Regents’ (ABOR) Arizona Healthy Tomorrow initiative, NAU Health is shaping a more equitable, accessible, and community-focused approach to healthcare education and delivery.
Through innovative programs, clinical partnerships, and service-driven research, NAU Health prepares students to meet the needs of Arizona’s diverse and growing populations—particularly in rural, tribal, and underserved communities.
