Regional Health Care Initiative
Building partnerships that offer quality
health care to the underserved.
MARC’s Regional Health Care Initiative addresses how to provide effective health care for citizens who do not have health insurance.
KCHealthResource.org Web site launched
KCHealthResource.org: This site is your source to find health care options for the uninsured and underinsured.
Based on a study completed by Health Management Associates the project is working on this issue on three fronts:
- developing a virtual health plan among safety net providers
- making sure the region is fully utilizing federal and state programs, and
- increasing insurance coverage for those currently uninsured.
The project is addressing these priorities by building on existing community programs and initiatives. It is also bringing together stakeholders with the appropriate technical assistance to develop and implement strategies to address the issues associated with the uninsured.
