the issue We face
There is a significant amount of people who are in need of medical attention but
do not have the medical insurance or money to obtain the help they need. The
reason people are not receiving the medical treatments is not because there is a
lack of programs or funding available, but rather because of the lack of community
involvement. There is an insufficient correspondence from the institutions that
offer these services to the public. Our goal is to bridge the gap of communication
between the resources and the people who need these programs the most.
our purpose
The purpose of ALWAYS Healthcare Organization is to provide education on
local medical resources to members of our community by delivering educational
services including, but not limited to, directories containing resources for medical
care, complete with contacts and program requirements; medical care resource
meetings; medical care resource special events; and medical care resource
guidance via our website.
our mission
In order to help the uninsured obtain the medical care they need, and to better the overall health status of our community, our
goal is to provide a directory that is comprised of all the Collier County specific programs and governmental funding that is
available to the local populace, pending the patient qualifies for the program. Included in the directory will be the resources,
names, and contacts required to help people get the information they need. Once they are directed to the correct source of
care, it will be up to the individual to pursue these services in order to receive the care they need.
The directory will not only help the patients who need the care, but also the healthcare providers. The healthcare delivery team
will save time because they will possess a simple yet comprehensive resource that allows them to quickly find programs that
their patients may need. Additionally, the directory will provide the available programs and relevant funding information. This
vital health resource will be made available to the general public at no cost.
In order to bring about significant health improvement within our community AHO plans to distribute directories at key points
of patient contact that are already in place to assist people. Some of these non-profit organizations include, the United Way,
the Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, and various Catholic charities, as well as impoverished communities, labor camps,
college campuses, hospitals, primary care physicians, and low-income housing developments.AHO seeks to continually bridge
the gap between needing quality healthcare and receiving quality healthcare, thus improving the health of our community, our
state, our nation, and our world, one person at a time.
