Overview

Mission

Azaap is committed to improving the health of Arizona children and supporting the pediatric professionals who care for them.

What it reported doing in 2024

Medical services project: for almost 30 years, physicians and other health care professionals statewide have donated their services to thousands of uninsured children through the medical services project (msp), a program of the Arizona chapter of the american academy of pediatrics (azaap). At little cost to their families, school-aged children receive health-related services including pediatric primary care and specialty referrals, prescription medication, diagnostic laboratory services and eye glasses. Based on referrals from school and public health nurses, msp connects physicians to Arizona's uninsured and underinsured children from low-income families which do not otherwise qualify for health care coverage. The children receive low-cost medical appointments with participating physicians who believe that access to care for children should not be restricted to only those who have health coverage. The doctors and nurses who participate in medical services project give very generously of their time and talent to msp.
