In partnership with the tribes of Arizona, Nevada and Utah, the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, and the Phoenix Area
Indian Health Service, the Phoenix Area Health Services Master Plan was developed over a period of two years and the final
document was accepted on November 22, 2002.
The Master Plan document includes the following topics:
- Introduction

- Master Plan Priorities
- Primary Service Areas
- Summary & Priorities
- Resource Allocation
- Requirements and Delivery Plan

in its entirety.
In June, 2004, the Phoenix Area IHS Director endorsed the selection of Ms. Sandra Pattea as the Coordinator for the Integrated
Services Delivery Network (ISDN) also known as the “Master Plan”. Over the past year, the Master Plan
has been presented at various forums, such as:
- Phoenix Area Health Steering Committee
- Health Director’s meeting
- Inter Tribal Council of Nevada’s Annual Convention
- Colorado River Indian Tribal Health Board
- Hopi Tribal Council
- Fort Yuma Service Unit Leadership meeting
- Public Health Nurse Director’s meeting
- Chief Pharmacists meeting
Where Are We Now?
The Phoenix Area Health Services Master Plan is a living document. At the annual Office of Self Determination - Indian
Health Service / Tribes / Urban (I/T/U) meeting in June, 2005, it was announced that updating the Master Plan to 2015
would begin. The updates will also include tribes and urban programs not currently included in the Master Plan.
To gain appropriate local input in updating the Master Plan, the ISDN coordinator is identifying individuals who will serve
as the point of contacts for the Phoenix Area Tribes, Urban Programs and Service Units.
We look forward to our continued work with all those who provide health care services to American Indians and Alaskan
Natives.
