Maricopa County is the nation's fourth largest county by population, 4.5 million people in the 2022 Census Bureau count, more than half of everyone in Arizona. The scale carries through the whole sheet: 9,224 square miles, 24 cities and towns including the county seat of Phoenix, and a regional park system of more than 120,000 acres of open space. The government itself predates the state; the county was established on February 14, 1871, over 40 years before Arizona statehood, and its boundaries haven't moved since 1881.
Public health for more than half of Arizona's population runs through this one county government, and clinical and behavioral health roles follow from that responsibility.
