El Dorado Program Helps Cut Non-Emergency ED Visits
A community partnership in El Dorado County, called ACCESS El Dorado, helps uninsured and underinsured families learn about health insurance options and buy low-cost coverage. A recently released Sphere Institute report found that non-emergency visits to the emergency department decreased 40% for children in the program.
