Girls on the Run® is a 10-week after school program for girls in 3rd-8th grades. We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running.

Each lesson uses interactive games, uplifting discussion, and running activities to explore the issues girls face. During the 10 weeks, each team plans and completes a community impact project and prepares for a celebratory 5K run.

Girls on the Run of Northern Arizona (GOTRNA) serves Coconino, Navajo, Apache, and Yavapai counties.

Our Maternal Child Health Programs include the Health Start Program which is a FREE neighborhood outreach program that works with pregnant women, new mothers and their families. The goal of the Health Start program is to give your child and family the best chance of success through education and referrals to community resources. Families receive home visits and case management with oversight by nurses and social workers through the enrolled child's second year of life. The Healthy Steps Program is a First Things First funded strategy in several regions. North Country HealthCare engages in a practice-based model where child development specialists work in the primary care office where they are able to provide child development screenings, education and support, and information about additional resources for families.

The Northern Arizona Care and Services After Assault (NACASA) at North Country HealthCare is a safe place for adult and adolescent victims of sexual assault to go for help and to explore their options after an assault. Examinations are performed by doctors and nurses who are specially trained to provide medical forensic care immediately following an assault. NACASA examiners have received special training to provide comprehensive care to sexual assault victims and may provide expert testimony in court if a case goes to trial.
