Mission

Greater Cincinnati’s Access Health 100 provides executive guidance and leadership to restructure our regional health care system so that every resident has access to primary care as part of a quality health care program.

The goal of Access Health 100 is 100% access to primary care for the uninsured, underinsured and low-income population by the end of 2008.

We, the Access Health 100 Steering Committee, are committed to creating a regional primary care system guided by the following principles:

• We know and advocate what a successful primary care safety net system will look like in our communities.
• We know and use the leverage points each community has to create a sustainable system through process integration and financial restructuring.
• We practice integration and restructuring as evidence-based work. We are champions for “models that work.”
• We behave as investment brokers in this campaign. We see the deal opportunities, organize investment capital, invest to produce a return, understand and manage risk, and hold champions accountable for results.
• We build a system for all; there is no two-tiered system.
• We have a broad leadership consensus on the need to restructure and how to restructure.
• We hold quality as a defining value.
• We come to this campaign with a sense of urgency.
• We use a clear mission goal with a target date to define our intent; we use short-term goals with target dates to set the pace for our performance.
• We keep score and celebrate success.
• We have secured back office support for the deal making processes we will put in place.

We value a collaborative spirit. We engage all sectors in this region—providers, employers, insurers, government agencies, private funders and advocates for the uninsured. We work together as a community of practice to develop a delivery system that secures a primary care medical home and service linkages for Greater Cincinnati residents who do not have a regular source of care.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Releases New Report: Hard Times in the Heartland: Health Care in Rural America

Throughout rural America, there are nearly 50 million people who face challenges in accessing health care. The past several decades have consistently shown higher rates of poverty, mortality, uninsurance, and limited access to a primary health care provider in rural areas. With the recent economic downturn, there is potential for an increase in many of the health disparities and access concerns that are already elevated in rural communities. Hard Times in the Heartland provides insight into the current state of health care in rural areas and the critical need for health care reform. Click here to view full report.
