Advocacy

We Advocate for Quality Health Care

HCC Network is pleased to serve as a voice for the rural residents of Missouri. It is our intention to make our members, partners, and communities aware of the issues that rural residents face in this ever-changing health care landscape. Policy is an issue that many rural residents are impacted by but are seldom aware of when it is enacted in our great state; therefore, an informational void may exist for decision making purposes. Likewise, we believe that policy makers may not always consider the unique challenges that residents and businesses of rural communities face in these dynamic times.  Therefore, a need to educate both the community and policy makers is essential.

HCC believes that the best decision is an informed one. Our efforts are to advocate. HCC invites you to join us in spreading the news as it becomes available to us so everyone can make an informed decision.

For more information, please contact Chief Network Development Officer Suzanne Smith at 660.229.5293.

Our community-based programs include case management, counseling and assessment, health education, transportation, translation services, enrollment assistance, health and social care advocacy initiatives, access to primary care, and health IT.

HCC and its Community Health Centers serve all patients regardless of ability to pay. Discounts for essential services are offered based on family size and income. Schedule a visit: 660.259.2440.

After more than a decade and nearly 50 new employees later, it’s safe to say that the Lexington, MO-based HCC Network is a major player in Lafayette County and in rural health care in this region.

The focus of HCC is to develop and implement programs that are responsive to documented health needs of county residents, with specific health status indicators as benchmarks of progress.
