Advocating for Quality Rural Living
HCC Network has established committees to advocate improvements in Lafayette County and surrounding areas, as it relates to medical, dental, behavioral health, overall health and wellness, and health care workforce recruitment.
Each committee reports to the HCC Executive Board at least twice a year to disclose status reports, action plans and projected outcomes designed to support HCC’s mission and goals.
