Access to healthcare is a major issue for low-income residents in the U.S., especially minorities, immigrants, and those living in rural areas. Athough the underserved communities experience the same problem regarding access and quality health care, we do not use a size-fit-all approach.

In the wake of Hurricane Matthew, significant challenges remain to increase access to and utilization of improved water and sanitation services that are key to improving health and well-being."
