Our national health
care challenges often look different at the
local level. Safety net programs in our region
offer help to those who have little or no access
to care. But implementing these programs, and
identifying who needs help, can be a complex
process. Our health care series continues as we
explore the challenges involved with identifying
and reaching out to local people without
insurance.
