About Us
There are more than 42,000 Northlanders who do not have adequate health insurance. This number continues to grow along with the escalation of the cost of providing a primary health care visit. With the help of our supporters, we work to ensure that Northland residents have access to primary health care. For every $100 in funding, NHCA is able to leverage services to provide a prenatal visit for an uninsured mother, three physician visits for a diabetic or other chronic disease, or three visits for children with urgent care needs.
Our Vision:
All Northland residents will have access to quality health care.
Our Mission:
Northland Health Care Access coordinates quality health care to people without access through community collaboration and advocacy.
Our Values:
Health care is a right and shared responsibility that requires:
C-Compassion through a practice of cultural humility
A-Accountability to fostering health equity
R-Respect of the humanity in us all
E-Efficiency of supportive care and services
