Health Disparities in Merced and Stanislaus Counties
Legacy Health Endowment and PlusInc are working to address health disparities in Merced and Stanislaus Counties. Like many communities in California, both Merced and Stanislaus Counties have many health conditions afflicting its residents. Our collaborative effort pays particular interest in how COVID-19, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Mental Health Services, Substance Use Disorder and HIV/AIDS are impacting our local communities. PlusInc works to improve health disparities among marginalized communities in the United States.
To achieve greater health equity, our healthcare infrastructure needs to identify the health disparities that exist in the United States, and how they can vary from one health condition or another.
