Barriers to Healthcare
Health Is More Than Health Care.
Access to care is important, but being truly healthy requires so much more.
At GCRHN, we know health is not uniformly attainable for everyone. Every year, we work to understand the barriers that keep our neighbors from living their healthiest lives.
National data shows other factors create barriers to care. These include:
- Education
- Income
- Housing
- Food access
- Geography
- Transportation
- Language
- Culture
- Race
- Age & Ability
How We Help
In 2021, we served over 584 unique clients, via at least 14,020 interactions throughout the year. We also provided outreach to 1,151 community members and clients through emergency response. 51% of our client interactions were with residents age 60 and over.
YOU need healthcare and support. WE can help with the aches and pains of getting it.
YOU don’t know what resources you need until you need it. WE have local health resources on our one-stop website:
