The Arizona Rural Health Association is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Congressman Raul Grijalva, who represented Arizona’s 7th District with dedication and passion. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
Congressman Grijalva was a steadfast advocate for rural and tribal communities across Arizona. His leadership in tackling critical issues, from safeguarding the Grand Canyon to expanding healthcare access through the Affordable Care Act, has left a profound and lasting impact. Most memorably, we had the privilege of meeting with him during the National Rural Health Association Policy Institute Capitol Hill visits to discuss rural health concerns in Arizona.
His commitment to equity, access, and the well-being of our communities will not be forgotten. We honor his legacy and the work he championed, knowing that his impact will continue to inspire future efforts in rural health and beyond.
Holly Figueroa,
President
Arizona Rural Health Association
