Information

Agenda Item

Hear presentation and update on the Community Clinic Services Program (CCS).

Background

We are now in the sixth year of the program designed to help the uninsured of Williamson County receive primary medical care from local clinics on all sides of the county. By sharing the costs of the medical visits with the clinics, we assist them in seeing more patients and help prevent patients from seeking primary medical care treatment at local emergency rooms. Receiving primary care in emergency rooms is very expensive and an inappropriate location. A medical home for primary care also keeps individuals productive members of our community by preventing and treating medical problems before they become more severe and expensive, resulting in the inability to work and possibly increasing the County's indigent care costs.
