Access to care may include: mental health, substance use disorder, food security, housing, senior services, transportation and logistics, culturally appropriate care, awareness of services, care coordination and patient motivation.

One-year grants of up to $10,000 for general operating support will be made through this program. Deadline for applications is Friday, December 9, 2022.
