Community health coalitions are uniquely positioned to improve access to primary and preventative healthcare, which is essential for building healthier, more resilient communities.

By focusing on access, coalitions can help prevent disease, manage chronic conditions early, and reduce unnecessary emergency room visits, leading to better health outcomes and lower healthcare costs. This work is especially important in reaching populations who often face barriers to care.

Through partnerships with clinics, hospitals, schools, and other local organizations, coalitions can coordinate resources, identify gaps, and implement solutions such as mobile health services, transportation support, or health education programs.

Investing in primary and preventative care not only supports individual well-being but also strengthens the community as a whole by promoting better health and supporting a productive workforce.
