Community Voices: Speaking Out
Community Voices: Healthcare for the Underserved is a group of national, community-based demonstration projects seeking to develop programs that actually improve the accessibility of people to quality health care, based on real-life demonstrations of what does and can work.We believe that practical examples of service models that reach people are better guides for public and private policy decision-makers than solutions that have not been tested on the ground in communities where real people live, work and seek full service health care that includes oral health care, mental health and substance abuse treatment.We have learned that people have needs for non-fragmented care and that our current system of care does not adequately serve the poor and underinsured. As a result, care for the uninsured and underserved is viewed as a luxury and a privilege rather than as a right.We want to help change this viewpoint, which is a reality in the lives of too many in our nation.
