Why we're here.
Three decisions on the table — every other agenda item rolls up to one of them.
1
Validate PHIT for BUFC
Is the PHIT Scorecard the population-health intelligence tool BUFC has been waiting for? Sandra and Heidi: this is your slide.
2
Pick the pathway
Three options on Slide 11. Reduced-pricing pilot. Fund the Year-2 Chamber. Or anchor the AzAHP co-venture. Sarah's call.
3
Activate the AZ network
Banner doesn't buy alone. Banner is the door-opener for Mercy Care, UHC Community Plan, Care1st, Molina, Health Choice AZ — and a national tail.
If we leave with answers to all three, Friday was a success.

WHO WE ARE · SARAH'S TIMELINE
Sarah saw it before we had a name for it.
From the 360° SCD Hub to the Medicaid Innovation stage — the same three words have always landed: tech · partners · support.
STEP 1 · BEFORE
360° SCD Hub
Sickle Cell Foundation of Arizona's 360° SCD Hub launched as the technology proof-of-concept. Sarah was engaged early — long before any formal sponsorship existed.
STEP 2 · YEAR 1
Foundational Partner
Sarah signed BUFC as the foundational FFH partner. AZ Chambers of Health activate. Banner brand lands on AHCAN, HealthCorps Out & About, and the SCD honor plaque.
STEP 3 · MEDICAID INNOVATION
Sarah on the National Stage
Sarah's Medicaid Innovation for Leaders talk: "Tech + partners + support is how we reach hard-to-reach populations." Every Medicaid plan in the room heard it.
Sarah's three words from the Medicaid Innovation stage:
TECH.
PARTNERS.
SUPPORT.

THE NETWORK · MOVING GEARS
The system is interlocking — pull one, all turn.
Seven gears. Each fundable on its own. Hover any gear to see the Problem it solves and the Solution it ships.
FFH NETWORK
Chamber of Health
Chamber of Health Systems
ProblemHealth-equity work is fragmented across orgs. Nobody has a regional convening seat for Directors.
SolutionOne Chamber per state. Foundational seat for anchor partners. 6 teams of 50 active in AZ today.
PHIT Systems
PHIT Systems · Population Health Intelligence Toolkit
ProblemFederal community-health data lives across 30+ siloed dashboards. Directors never see it in one place.
SolutionOne county selector. 30+ federal sources synthesized in 2 seconds. Director-ready, grant-ready, peer-compared.
Force Marketplace
Force Marketplace
ProblemHealth-tech vendors and community programs can't find each other. Procurement is broken.
SolutionVetted health-product directory + procurement playbooks built for Medicaid plans, schools, and employers.
FFH Publishing
FFH Publishing
ProblemHealth content is either too clinical for members or too fluffy to drive change.
SolutionCoach Lucy + Dr. Rob bilingual curriculum, Bingo Cards, Fit Friday broadcasts, Reality Health Games.
Foundation + Funding
FFH Foundation + Funding
ProblemAnchor partners want philanthropic + corporate + Medicaid CRA dollars to flow to one structure, not three.
SolutionStacked funding through a 501(c)(3) + LLC sleeve — Banner Foundation, BUFC CRA, and Banner corporate land in one ledger.
Reality Health Games
Reality Health Games
ProblemMember engagement falls off a cliff after enrollment. Stars/HEDIS suffer.

WHY NOT JUST BUY DATA SOMEWHERE ELSE?
FFH vs. the other data sources.
Drawing from Willie's Workforce Comparison + the AzAHP buyer's lens.

Three Opportunity Pathways.

PATHWAY 2
Year-2 Chamber Build

PATHWAY 3 ★ RECOMMENDED
