Health Justice

Access to high-quality healthcare is severely limited in the region by a wide variety of factors including no insurance and underinsurance, constrained health care delivery and availability, geography, legal and regulatory obstacles, and chronic underinvestment. For those suffering from stigmatized health conditions, access to care and quality of care are both compromised by the intermingling of healthcare systems with agencies that have the power to remove children and impose and carry out criminal punishment. Moreover, health, defined broadly, is inextricable from all aspects of the Center’s work.
