The Yavapai County Community Health Services team coordinated with health services support to support the Arizona Sonshine (AZSS) community health event. This is an initiative of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. YCCHS collaborated with Northland Cares and the Community Health Center of Yavapai (CHCY) to support the event. During the two-day event, held on June 8th and the 9th, AZSS served a total of 358 community members (196 on the first day, 162 on the second day).

The Community Health Education Section of YCCHS distributed health-related items and educational resources to 110 of 195 total community members. Additionally, HIV and Hepatitis testing and awareness were provided for 50 community members. Items like blankets, Naloxone, stress reduction items, and Thai Chi class information was handed out.

Notably, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) section of YCCHS served nine participants. Five were brand new to WIC, and the other four just needed an appointment.
