Our Initiatives
ACCESS TO CARE

Improve Access to Health Care
Access to quality health care, especially primary care, is essential to improving an individual’s health and a community’s health as a whole. Primary care providers screen for major, health-related conditions and help manage chronic conditions. They also provide preventive services such as vaccinations, health screenings and routine exams.
MENTAL HEALTH

Improve Access to Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services
The Missouri Department of Mental Health estimates nearly one in five adults experience mental illness and one in 13 adults have been diagnosed with a substance abuse disorder. A shortage of mental health and substance abuse health providers in the Northland amplifies the problem.
