Multi-year support from the Foundation funds health care teams that deliver integrated and coordinated preventive, clinical and community-based care services and target important medical challenges within medically underserved communities, such as infant mortality, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and asthma.

These efforts help thousands of adults and children receive quality comprehensive care that might otherwise be unavailable, and set forth a new model of care that organizations throughout the country can replicate in their own communities.
