Recommendations for Action
Strategic steps to address Warren County's unique healthcare challenges.
Provide policy analysis on health care access and encourage advocacy.
With an overall uninsured rate of 7% and expected increases in ACA premiums, funding community health workers can help residents connect to care and the resources they need to access care.
While one SBHC exists via Rural Health Group, expanding this model to every school in the district ensures that the 55.7% of children on Medicaid have a consistent medical home without requiring parents to take time off work for travel.
To reduce the high rate of preventable hospital stays (4,236 per 100k), additional local investment is needed to fund community health workers who can provide home-based chronic disease management and insurance navigation.
Turn data into action—connect with your lawmakers and help shape policies that protect your community.
