Health

United Way Cares about Improving People's Health.

Connect people with critical resources during crisis situations.

Increase overall health of uninsured and/or underinsured individuals in Portage County.

Why is it important? Children with health coverage are better prepared to learn in school and succeed in life.The uninsured are less likely to access preventive care or seek early treatment of illness and therefore may miss more time at work or school. Untreated mental health problems are a dimension of homelessness, academic achievement and independence.
