Organization Mission

UNiTED believes that improving community health and healthcare are the first critical steps to greater community development.  When people are healthier, they can spend more time in school, at work, in the marketplace, and taking part in local government.  They can raise their families' education level and income, which in turn will lead to better health and prosperity. They envision a world where health and access are not barriers to this prosperity.
