The association has spearheaded public health advocacy in Arizona for more than 90 years, improving health outcomes in communities through public health assessments and policy development relating to core public health functions. 

“We are so excited to see Elena take on this new role, further working to ensure that all Arizonans can age with confidence,” said Tami Bohannon, president and CEO of AllThrive 365. “She is a talented storyteller and community-builder who can lend a unique perspective toward advancing the work of the Arizona Public Health Association and its members.” 

Founded in 1928, AZPHA unites government agencies, medical professionals, community-based organizations and the private sector to address pressing issues like infectious disease, access to care, and environmental health. Today, it continues to lead through policy development, education, and community engagement—ensuring that Arizona’s public health system evolves to meet modern challenges. 

As part of the senior leadership team at AllThrive 365, Burr utilizes her experience in public health and her background in marketing to drive awareness and engagement, shining a light on the organization’s mission sharing stories from individuals and families who benefit from its healthy aging programs. She has a Master of Public Health from the University of Arizona, with a focus in Health Behavior Health Promotion, utilizing health education and disease prevention to improve the quality of life of individuals, families and communities.
