Improving safety net and health care services

Following the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), Sierra Health Foundation launches the Sacramento Region Health Care Partnership to advance regional health care reform preparedness and expand safety net services with a wide range of cross-sector partners, with a special focus on building infrastructure for Federally Qualified Health Center expansion in the region.

"This is a blueprint for thinking about new places to deliver care…These are people with lives and families [being benefited]. That is what health care is really all about."
