Our Vision is of a society of healthy communities where
all individuals reach their highest potential for health

Access and Coverage
Nearly 47 million Americans are uninsured. Hospitals are the health care safety net for the nation. Every day the caregivers in America's hospitals see that the absence of coverage is a significant barrier to getting people the right care, at the right time, in the right setting.
Our commitment is three-fold:
- Help people obtain health coverage
- Help businesses offer health coverage to employees
- Ensure access to essential services
