Healthcare Access
Equitable access to healthcare is about far more than just affordable insurance- although that is an important piece! Is information presented in a way that most people can understand? Are appointments offered when people can get to them? Are community healthcare systems open and inviting to all? And on a basic level, is transportation available for people who might not have their own cars to get to a provider? Monadnock Healthcare Advocates is working to help our most vulnerable community members overcome these barriers, to receive the care they need.
