Drowning information is compiled into an annual report from the Arizona Department of Health Services, but we found it hasn't been updated in two years. MORE ⬇️
PHOENIX — Messaging around water safety is strategic. It is based on trends and what's happening just before the water emergency.
Stauffer says previously that information was compiled from three places: hospital discharge records, death certificates and firefighters on scene. We asked the department several times if they hired someone for that position, but they would not say. The position of Director of the Arizona Department of Health Services is open, too. That position is nominated by the governor.
"Throughout the years we have as a coalition wondered what would happen if AZDHS no longer put the report together for us, and we know that it is important to draw that line for us. And we would have to hire an epidemiologist to take a look at that ourselves, and we know that we would be willing to do that and call in fundraising.
