Improving health status and increasing access to healthcare and public health services
Access to Care for the Categorically Ineligible Populations. ASTHO's Maternal and Child Health and Primary Care Projects developed a set of modules to inform state health officials and others on the impact of federal laws in accessing care for various populations. The modules include a Federal Eligibility Chart, Resources, Immigration Definitions and a State Strategy Web cast. The State Strategy Webcast highlights Oregon's work in increasing access to family planning services.
