The foundation strives to ensure that low-income adults and children have access to a regular, sustainable and affordable source of quality health care.
Goals:
- Ensure that community clinics have the capacity to serve as a system of care for the underserved and uninsured
- Increase access to a regular source of preventive care and treatment services for uninsured adults
- Expand health care coverage for all uninsured children
Objectives:
- Increase the sustainability of community clinics by supporting activities that enhance management capacity, increase the provision of quality services and improve clinic executive leadership capabilities
- Enhance coordination among community clinics to address outpatient health care safety net concerns
- Increase community awareness of health care safety net issues through the support of focused analysis and advocacy efforts that can achieve meaningful policy changes
- Increase the number of low-income children who have health care coverage by supporting outreach, education and enrollment efforts that target these children
- Improve health outcomes for underserved people with conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and pediatric asthma
Priorities:
- Efforts that serve federally designated Medically Underserved Areas or Health Professional Shortage Areas, and that deliver comprehensive health services (e.g., medical, dental, mental health, etc.) to low-income and underserved populations
- Efforts that have mechanisms for enrolling people in health care coverage and connecting them with a source of regular or ongoing care
- Efforts that integrate strong prevention and early intervention efforts into their health services delivery strategy
- Requests that clearly demonstrate knowledge of the health conditions that affect the specific population to be served
