DOCMS Helps Launch "Project Access"

In December 2006 several community groups convened area stakeholders in an effort to commit to designing and implementing a local program to expand healthcare to Durham’s low-income uninsured population. One of the results of this process is the imminent beginning of “Project Access of Durham County.” This is a program that will provide specialty care to uninsured Durham residents living under 200% of the federal poverty level.
