Our Philosophy
All individuals have the same
basic health care needs. These are best met through adequate
self-care that can be enhanced through personal health
service programs. in addition, there are groups of
individuals with like characteristics who are at higher risk
of developing specific health problems and who can be best
served through programs aimed to prevent or manage specific
diseases or health problems. It is our belief that because
these groups exist, both they and the individual group
members need to be identified by health professionals.
Personal health services, within the confines of the
specific program goals, will be administered for the
betterment of the community's health. Because the community
and the individual stand to benefit from the service, user
fees will be assessed to supplement the tax monies. No one
will be refused services if unable to pay. Health care
services will be coordinated with other health care agencies
for a minimum of overlap and a maximum utilization of
funds.
