Gaps in traditional services prevent underserved communities from receiving adequate health care. Access is challenging because of provider shortages, transportation issues, language barriers, limited local facilities, and poor care coordination. Grant assistance supports the design, testing, and expansion of new, innovative health service models for these populations. New technology is not the only driver of
