Bridging Healthcare Gaps
Island Liaison links Arizona-based Pacific Islanders to healthcare centers where they can obtain affordable primary care and other assistance as needed, especially those from the independent island nations of the Freely Associated States (FAS): The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), and the Republic of Palau.
FAS islanders are not US Citizens and, therefore, are not eligible for many federal or state services, including essential healthcare services.
Until recently, as last year, 2020 December, Congress restored Medicaid (AHCCCS) eligibility to the COFA Agreement. Medicaid is known as the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) in Arizona and is accepted by Mountain Park Health Center.
Our community partners we work with are:
