Vitalyst Health Foundation, with support from the City of Phoenix, commissioned the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct a series of health care talent surveys. This effort has resulted in talent reports for: Community Health Centers in Maricopa County, Home Health Agencies, Long-Term Care Facilities, and Hospitals in Arizona.

In addition, interviews were conducted with health care leaders statewide to learn their plans and projections about how healthcare delivery is changing and impacting worker needs.
