Link Health’s Advocacy for Healthcare Equity Through ACP Expansion
In a world where digital connectivity has become a necessity for the delivery of healthcare, Link Health is leading a coalition of healthcare organizations, clinicians, and healthcare advocacy groups in partnership with our nation’s Internet service providers (ISPs) to spearhead a crucial campaign: “No Patient Left Offline”. We proudly announce our first ISP partner, Verizon, in this campaign. Through the support of Verizon and our other ISP partners over the course of the next 12 months, Link Health will organize support for the ACP across the healthcare community.
Bridging the Digital Divide for Quality Healthcare and Breaking Down Barriers to Healthcare Access
Despite advances in telehealth, numerous barriers to healthcare access persist, especially in underserved rural and low-income communities. Medical facility closures, transportation costs, and the inability of working families to attend preventative care appointments are just a few of these challenges. Telehealth offers a promising solution, but its effectiveness hinges on reliable high-speed broadband. Unfortunately, millions of Americans cannot afford home internet programs, depriving them of the benefits of “telehealthcare”.
Promoting the ACP Extension – Forging Partnerships for a Healthier America
Link Health is committed to advancing healthcare equity, rooted in its origins within A Healthier Democracy—an incubator bridging health and civic engagement. Presently, Link Health is actively seeking collaborations with like-minded organizations. Our goal is to unite the healthcare sector in recognizing the vital role of the ACP (Affordable Connectivity Program), emphasizing that every individual should have access to it.
In a world increasingly reliant on digital solutions, our “No Patient Left Behind” initiative highlights the urgent need to extend the reach of ACP. Failing to do so could undermine the progress we’ve achieved in improving healthcare accessibility and outcomes. Link Health’s endeavors, marked by innovation and a patient-centric focus, serve as a beacon of hope, ensuring that all Americans enjoy equal access to high-quality healthcare.
