About AZ GoLocal

Arizona Go Local is a statewide project of the Arizona Health Sciences Library at the University of Arizona. As a program of the National Library of Medicine’s Medline Plus, Arizona Go Local provides information to the public, linking you to health-oriented services and resources throughout the state. The database offers access to contact information, web sites and descriptions for services that include hospitals and clinics, elder care, wellness, support group, group and individual caregivers, and a wide-range of other health topics.

Of the 15 Arizona counties, three are included as part of the Tribal Connectons Four Corners Go Local. With a state population of nearly six million, the city of Phoenix being the fifth largest city nationwide, and 21 federally recognized tribes, many in rural locations, Arizona Go Local aims to provide a comprehensive, yet searchable database of health care services for all residents.

Through Arizona GoLocal, consumers can also link to AZHealthInfo.org, a web site that provides detailed information on a variety of health-related topics. Consumers can search for information about diseases, conditions, specialties, public health, rural health, health news, statistics, and can be referred to Arizona and national web sites specific to the health topic.
