Improving health in underserved communities
Riverside is committed to building trust and collaborating with our partners to improve health outcomes in underserved areas. Health equity is achieved when every person can attain their full health potential, free of obstacles that may be created by socially determined circumstances. These obstacles can include lack of educational and financial resources, lack of transportation, lack of access to food or affordable housing, or living in an area more than 30 miles from the nearest healthcare facility.Ensuring health equity in our communities requires businesses, community organizations, municipalities and government agencies, healthcare systems, higher education institutions, and others to come together collaboratively and focus on removing the obstacles that contribute to health disparities. If you would like to request that Riverside work with your organization to provide health screenings, please complete the our support form.
