Filling the Health Care Gap

Filling the Health Care Gap!


     Norton Healthcare's Get Healthy Access Program's (GHAP) mission is "to establish a mechanism for underserved populations at risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes to reduce the burden of chronic disease." Accordingly, GHAP is working to reduce cardiovascular disease while increasing access to timely health care for about 300 uninsured Jefferson County residents each year.   Recently, Norton Healthcare chose Wayside Christian Mission as a GHAP program site; with many of our women and men in the "at risk" category, Norton's involvement provides our resident clients with a great source for achieving improved health and wellness!
