Improve Access to Health Care in Butte County

Why Is This Important?

Healthy People 2020 has identified Access to Health Care Services as a priority area. Timely access to health care services, including testing, is essential to achieve health equity, reduce the spread of communicable disease, and increase the quality of life for Butte County’s population. Early access to primary and specialty care can improve overall physical, social, and mental health. Increasing access to testing services can allow for early detection, preventing the spread of disease.
