Removing Barriers to Care
Improving access to care and health care coverage are among several important social determinants for enjoying a healthy life. By meeting people where they are, whatever their circumstances, the Providence family of organizations is removing obstacles to care. We’re strong advocates for preserving and expanding coverage of crucial safety net programs and making care more accessible for more people. Examples of this work are featured here in our Community Investment Stories.
