Strengthening
the Safety Net
Access to Healthcare
Everyone deserves access to quality healthcare. Here’s how we help.
Operating Support
Health safety net providers deliver essential care to the uninsured, underinsured and other vulnerable populations who otherwise could not access it. Core safety net providers include emergency rooms, free and charitable clinics, local health departments, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), community health centers and other providers that deliver care to a significant number of uninsured and underinsured patients. A safety net that coordinates effectively with community-based wraparound services is more effective at ensuring long-term positive health outcomes for its patient population.
