The Healthcare Consortium’s central mission is to increase access to quality healthcare through collaboration, education, information and service delivery. In order to advance this mission, the Consortium provides a number of programs and services, all of which are informed by the following values: Access to quality health care is a fundamental right of every individual; improving the health of our community occurs through the partnership of health, social service, all levels of government, and wellness organizations; individuals are primarily responsible for their own health care decisions and require information and education to fulfill their role effectively; and, collaboration and provision of preventive and wellness services has long term efficiencies.
