  3. ARCH supported the Butte County Accountable Communities for Health (ACH) initiative through contracted program management and coordination. Activities included stakeholder engagement, planning, and alignment of cross-sector partners to address community health priorities. Program management was delivered through contracted services rather than employees as part of the organization's early-stage operational model.
  4. During 2025, ARCH focused on establishing organizational infrastructure, coordinating collaborative initiatives, and supporting early-stage program development.
