The Health Authority’s mission is about access to health care for all. But it’s about more than that. It’s about access to health – the right to health in a culture that promotes health equity.

The inequality of health status in our country is appalling. While we strive for maximum enrollment in health insurance programs and the expansion of community health and wellness resources, the bottom line is that the quality of your health is largely determined by where you live. Health disparities fall along the lines of race, ethnicity, and geography. Often those correlate as one.
