Access to comprehensive, quality healthcare services is important for promoting and maintaining health, preventing and managing disease, reducing unnecessary disability and premature death, and achieving health equity for everyone in the community.

Housing is more than adequate shelter from the elements. Housing includes multiple characteristics such as the stability and security of the housing, the quality and safety of the housing, the neighborhood quality and associated social networks, and the affordability of the housing.

Humans are social creatures and social relationships and an individual’s place in a broader social environment can have profound effects on health. Social connections can support a longer lifespan, reduce anxiety and depression, and help support a functioning immune system.

Income is a key factor in overall health and health outcomes. Income has been shown to be connected to social status, quality of life, physical and mental health outcomes, and access to care. Individuals with higher incomes report greater satisfaction with health care and less concern about being able to afford necessary care.

In order to standardize the technology used by the department, we've compliled a list of recommended technology. 

This technology includes computers as well as peripherals (Mice/Keyboards, Headsets, Microphones, Desktop Scanners, etc.) 

Standardizing the technology used in the department will reduce the time it takes to troubleshoot, repair, and replace technology, and will reduce the cost of support. 

Whenever possible, please request these standardized products.
