Health care access aids Lawrence community health
Lawrence and Douglas County benefit as Health Care Access and the Douglas County Dental Clinic expand services for uninsured residents. A study says Health Care Access saves LMH at least $1 million yearly by reducing ER visits and hospitalizations. The dental clinic, started full time in July, aims to cut dental emergencies funds and ER visits, serving 210 patients last month versus eight in October 2001.
