Clifton
Morenci Health Clinic — Developmental Referrals
Greenlee County is Arizona's least populous county, centered around the copper mining community of Morenci. Health services are limited — the company-run Morenci clinic provides primary care, and autism evaluations require travel to Safford (Graham County, ~45 miles) or Tucson. Telehealth is the most practical option for diagnostic evaluation.
Greenlee County is one of the most rural counties in Arizona. Telehealth with UA or Phoenix Children's is the most accessible first step. Mt. Graham Regional (Safford, ~45 miles) can initiate referrals.

Mt. Graham Regional Medical Center — Developmental Referrals

Telehealth with UA's Sonoran UCEDD or Phoenix Children's is the recommended first step.
