  • Ensure equitable access through non-discrimination and language access policies

    methodology: community_health_needs_assessment-driven-planning
    By conducting community health needs assessments, we identify and prioritize health disparities, then develop targeted implementation plans to improve access to care for the poor and underserved because data-driven planning ensures resources are directed where they are most needed.
