Narrative
1. Proposed Program or Project. The Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH)
serves the third largest local public health jurisdiction in the U.S., with more than 4.1 million
residents according to the 2015 census. Maricopa County encompasses over 9,200 square miles,
roughly the size of the state of Massachusetts, composed of a mix of urban, suburban, and rural areas
including the whole or parts of five sovereign American Indian Reservations. Home to the major
metropolitan cities of Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Glendale, and Tempe, Maricopa County serves as
the state’s major geopolitical and economic center.
Our mission is to protect and promote the health and well-being of all of our residents and visitors.
This means providing protection from the health threats such as food-borne illnesses, natural and
man-made disasters, toxic exposures, and preventable injury. Public Health also works to prevent
chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes by addressing their risk factors: poor
nutrition, inadequate physical activity, and tobacco use. We are increasingly moving towards policy,
systems and environmental approaches to improving the health of our community. As a partner of
the Arizona Department of Health Services we have a long history of implementing innovative and
effective health programs and initiatives within Maricopa County.
2. The purpose of the Healthy Maricopa Through Healthy Living program is to implement and
expand self-management programs to populations who have a need for Chronic Disease education
with the combined goal of improving health, increasing the self-efficacy of completers, reducing
costs associated with healthcare and reducing hospital readmissions within Maricopa County.
3. The Stanford Model of evidence-based self-management programs, also known as Healthy Living
workshops, is a proven intervention that help Arizonans lead longer and healthier lives.
Unfortunately, many do not know about this opportunity within our community. The Healthy
Maricopa Through Healthy Living program will help bridge the gap to access to self-management
workshops by empowering community partners to deliver this evidence-based program within
Maricopa County.
Goal #1: Train 30 lay-leaders to facilitate Healthy Living workshops within the grant year
Goal #2: Create partnerships that result in the planning and facilitation of 30 Healthy Living
workshops within the grant year (self-management workshops can be provided in both English and
Spanish).
Goal #3: Provide technical assistance for workshop implementation that includes activities related to
workshop logistics and support including workshops books and nutrition support.
The workshops are promoted to people who have a chronic disease, are at risk for a chronic disease,
or are the caregiver for a person with chronic disease. Implementation of 30 workshops will provide
approximately 360 individuals with access to an evidence based program that improves overall health
while at the same time reducing healthcare costs and hospital readmissions.

4. The Arizona Living Well Institute (AZLWI) is the state endorsed vendor of self-management
workshop implementation. They provide lay-leader training and workshop fidelity. MCDPH works
closely with this organization to ensure participants have a positive experience while engaging in the
program.
5. Work will begin immediately following grant funding with the creation of partnerships and lay-
leader training activities to support workshop volume that is projected.
Step 1: identify and train 6 lay-leaders in the first quarter and 8 lay-leaders in each of the following 3
quarters in collaboration with community and healthcare partners
Step 2: plan and implement 6 Healthy Living Workshops in the first quarter and 8 Healthy Living
Workshops in each of the following 3 quarters in collaboration with community and healthcare
partners
