Access to health care and human services improves both individual and community health. This includes prevention and treatment services for physical, behavioral and oral health as well as support services, such as transportation, food assistance, childcare and assistance enrolling in and using health insurance. Health departments and other members of the public health system link people to needed services, ensure delivery of health care and an able workforce, while evaluating the effectiveness, accessibility and quality of these services.
