    • Better Care: Improve the overall quality, by making health care more patient-centered, accessible, and safe.
    • Healthy People/Healthy Communities: Improve the health of the U.S. population by supporting proven interventions to address behavioral, social and, environmental determinants of health in addition to delivering higher-quality care.
