Advocating for Health Care

In the 2021 Howard County Health Assessment Survey, 7% of Howard County residents reported not having any kind of healthcare coverage. This includes 22% of adults between the ages of 18 and 24 and 12% of adults between the ages of 25 and 34. In this episode we talk about how the Health Department can help you navigate the health insurance landscape to locate the coverage that is appropriate for you and your family. Then, once you have insurance we want to ensure you are getting the best care possible, so we discuss how to be a good health advocate for yourself or for a loved one.
