*PRC – Flathead City-County Health Department

The goal of this project is to increase access to healthcare services to homeless and housing insecure individuals in Flathead County through coordinating access to services to mitigate the health disparities caused by the social determinants of health. By targeting homeless individuals to assess/address some of the social determinants of health, and partnering with agencies that specialize in public assistance programs, Flathead City-County Department seeks to expand their scope of understanding on health in the Flathead Valley and address health disparities facing low-income individuals. Located in beautiful Northwest Montana, Kalispell and the Flathead Valley offer easy access to Glacier National park, miles of exceptional publicly-accessible trail systems, and superb outdoor recreational activities including hiking, fishing, biking, and skiing.
