Question

These are limited resources to work with essentially. The ER being one of those resources that is often misused. One way that local health departments have responded to increased need of PCP or access to healthcare has been through federal programs. Public health is key the evolution of healthcare itself. For example WIC, a public program funded by the State. Hence this knowledge is accessible via the State health departments, a extremely beneficial resource of information and care, especially care that is focused on the public's well-being, including communicable disease and their spread as well as epidemics that reach the public. They have a range of services to just what you deem the most pertinent point of care. That being said, there are others that have health insurance which can access this information via their primary care physician, their PCP. Keep in mind that there are several factors that can limit or deter this reach for information. Such as employment, education, income level, and even race. Each of these have a distinct challenge or level of knowledge associated with them.
