Healthy Tombstone was convened in late 2016 through the intrepid leadership of a single community champion. Initial brainstorming resulted in a focus on three issues: access to emergency care, access to transportation, and increased access to healthy foods. This group has provided helicopter insurance for $65 per month per household to partially address access to emergency care.  They brought VICaP (an on-call volunteer transportation service) to Tombstone to provide some transportation assistance and are currently partnering with Huachuca City on a grant to increase access to transportation.   

 

Healthy Tombstone has established itself as a nonprofit and is awaiting application to the Internal Revenue Service for its 501(c)(3) status.
