ACTION ALERTS - Click Here Held on April 17th 2006 
With funding received from the National Rural Health Association,
the Arizona Rural Health Association sponsored a Southern Arizona
Rural Health Forum on the topic of domestic violence.
Almost 150 people registered for the forum, resulting in its being moved at
the last minute from the Rio Rico fire station to the neighboring
resort. The Region IX Office of Women and Children at
HRSA generously supported the meeting, enabling it to continue in
the larger venue. Staffing for the forum was made possible through
the Rural Health Office at the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public
Health. The event drew numerous other cosponsors.
The unanticipated large attendance is a testament to the importance of the issue of domestic violence in rural communities. There was a great deal of discussion over the fact that no shelter exists in the Nogales area for victims of abuse, although community members have been attempting to get support to create a shelter for a number of years.
