You’re Invited to AHCCCS Community Events in December
Join our Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) team for monthly community discussions! These events are designed to help members, families, and stakeholders learn about programs and initiatives, and to provide feedback. Be sure to share this valuable information with your patients, clients, families, and stakeholders so they can better understand Arizona’s Medicaid services and how to find community resources and tools.
All of these events are posted on the AHCCCS calendar on www.azahcccs.gov. For previous presentations, please visit the Community Presentations Archive section on the Community Presentations web page.

Olmstead is a 1999 United States Supreme Court decision that provided a legal framework for the efforts of federal and state governments to integrate persons with disabilities, specifically those at risk of institutionalization, into their communities. Olmstead is intended to remove unnecessary segregation of members from the broader community and to ensure that members receive services in the most integrated setting appropriate to their needs.
