Thank you for your interest in working with us. As an organization, we provide an ever changing and challenging work environment filled with passionate, mission-driven coworkers.
Open Position:
Program Manager
The Arizona Partnership for Immunization (TAPI) is the statewide immunization coalition. We are a non-profit organization and we were established in 1993. Our mission is to bring together stakeholders across Arizona (the medical community, insurance plans, vaccine manufacturers, public health departments, the public, and others) and work in a coordinated manner to ensure high immunization coverage levels for everyone in our state. As a part of this work, in 2009 we started a successful centralized insurance billing program for the public health departments, to ensure they receive insurance reimbursement for the critical public health services they provide to the individuals and communities of our state — immunizations, sexual health clinic services and family planning services. TAPI operates under an administrative services contract with the Arizona Alliance for Community Health Centers (AACHC) – which is why you will hear from AACHC if you apply for this job.
