November 17-21, 2025 is National Crash Responder Safety Week (CRSW). ADHS/BEMSTS and the Arizona TIM Coalition invites you to participate in this year's CRSW observance Every minute of every day, law enforcement, fire and rescue, emergency medical services, public works, transportation, towing, and other responders work to make roadways safe for all road users. These traffic incident responders put their lives at risk when clearing each of the nearly 7 million motor vehicle crashes that occur in the U.S. each year.
Crucial Voices of AZ Project
The Arizona Perinatal Trust (APT) is excited to share the findings from their Crucial Voices of Arizona project, which seeks to promote respectful maternity care across Arizona by amplifying the CDC's Hear Her campaign. In 2024-2025, The CDC Foundation awarded the Arizona Perinatal Trust (APT) to support this important work. APT conducted multiple focus groups of women, and their support people, who shared their experiences during prenatal, birth, and postpartum care. The women speaking to their communities in the videos were participants from listening sessions held across the state with women from diverse backgrounds. New social media short videos will be released each week over the next four weeks.
