Healthy Manchester Leadership Council.
This report describes economic barriers to primary care faced both
by city residents (access to services) and by providers (provision of services). During the past several years, Manchester has experienced
a substantial increase in numbers of residents who are living in poverty, are uninsured, and underinsured. The provider community and city government are committed to working together to develop an economically sustainable system of primary care that assures the health of these more vulnerable residents.
