A Vision for Our Future

SHAC believes the following principles should govern the decision-making process concerning health care in Sonoma County:

• Primary care services and the promotion of healthy lifestyles are the foundation for a healthy community.
• The well-being and economic viability of the community depends on comprehensive, affordable and accessible health care.
• All people are valued and have access to culturally competent care.
• Access to the full spectrum of health services for women, children, and people living in poverty is ensured and protected.

SHAC envisions a health care system in which every individual in Sonoma County:

• Has a medical home for primary and preventive health care, with full access to care at all times regardless of ability to pay;
• Has access to the full range of health care options;
• Receives cost-efficient, high quality, culturally competent health care services provided by appropriately compensated health care professionals, workers and organizations; and
• When hospitalized, care is coordinated with his/her medical home.
