3. Environmental Scan ICC Business Plan Part One ICC Business Plan

4. Environmental Scan Over 200,000 people are without health insurance and/or are medically indigent in the three county area. A relatively small number of safety net providers shoulder nearly all of the burden of serving these people. As a result, their resources are being stretched too thin, and their survival is threatened. These providers do not deliver care in a single health care system; they have separate identities and structures. All serve clear market niches, and the survival of all is critical to the safety net structure. ICC Business Plan

16. Indigent Patients Our patients are primarily uninsured, low income, with multiple health/MH needs, disproportionately Latino/Mexican American, with poorer than average access to health care. They need, but do not have, medical homes. Safety Net Providers Our safety net providers are primarily clinics and hospitals that serve indigent populations, with some involvement by private practice physicians. They rely heavily on both grants and public dollars to support indigent care. Two Sets of Primary Customers ICC Business Plan
