Cook County Direct Health Access Program

 

Advocating for Healthcare Access – Cook County Direct Access ordinance from Compassionate Care Network on Vimeo.

In August of 2016, CCN advocated for the passage of the Direct Access ordinance, an ordinance which passed in September and opened the door for over 40,000 still uninsured Cook County residents to have access to affordable healthcare. Speaking above is CCN’s Director of Government and Community Partnerships, Abrar Quader, at the Board of Commissioners.
