Overview

In 1999, the Authority established the Arizona Health Assistance Program. AHAP is designed to provide direct loans ranging from $50,000 to $150,000 to health care providers in Arizona. The interest rate is 7% and the term is up to five years. These loans are available for a broad variety of capital components, including medical and computer equipment. The Authority can structure the loans in a variety of ways to meet the needs of the applicants. The Authority is committed to maintaining this self sustaining, revolving loan fund as an integral component of a system designed to leverage public and private resources for the development of essential health care services.
