Support for California's Safety-Net
Key to Achieving Health Equity
For Our State's Most Vulnerable
Private Essential Access Community Hospitals (PEACH) serve California's most vulnerable populations, providing essential care to Californians who need it.
​
Every Californian deserves access to equitable health care. The communities that suffer from unequal access to health care and health status share a common obstacle toward achieving an equal chance at a health life: a lack of resources caused by underinvestment and systematic underfunding of health care, driven in large part by government policy.
​
Community safety-net hospitals leave no Californian behind, create innovative solutions to equitably serve their communities and adapt to the needs of their communities to address challenges unique to California's safety- net. But, to truly achieve health equity, more resources must be delivered to the communities that need it, so that California's safety-net providers can serve them as those in more affluent communities.
