Why Is This Important?
Access to high-quality health care helps prevent disease and improve quality of life. However, some people do not receive the health services they need due to insufficient health insurance, inability to access a local provider, or transportation and language barriers. Lake County will work to increase the number of individuals covered by insurance, improve linkage between healthcare providers and community resources, promote careers in healthcare, and work together to identify and address the most persistent barriers that create disparities in access to care.
