Research shows that prevention, early intervention and increased access to care can dramatically improve the health of individuals and significantly decrease overall health care costs. Healthier Communities removes barriers to care by partnering with local not-for-profit agencies and community health organizations, raises awareness about community health issues and helps people develop healthier lifestyles. Healthier Communities also promotes health education through a network of community classes and support groups.
