Yuma Becomes Hub for Agriculture, Education and Rural Medical Training
The Arizona Board of Regents met in Yuma on December 4, 2025 and approved a three year agricultural research grant to create the Arizona Hub for Agriculture Innovation, recognized a top performing local school, and joined partners to open the state first rural regional medical school branch in Yuma. These moves aim to translate university research into farmer ready solutions, strengthen local K through 12 achievement, and build a pipeline to recruit physicians for rural and underserved communities.
