PREAMBLE

The health and well-being of each person is intertwined with the health and well-being of the broader community.  Access to health care is an essential element contributing to the common good, alongside others such as education, employment and a safe environment.

MISSION STATEMENT

Healthcare for All Virginians is a coalition of organizations and individuals, working to help create and advocate for accessible and affordable quality health care for all Virginians.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Accessible and affordable quality health care in Virginia should be:

•    The shared responsibility of our entire community:  individuals, providers, employers and government.

•    Available to all Virginians, regardless of ability to pay and without causing financial hardship.

•    Comprehensive, including a full range of services (primary, preventive, acute and long term care) in order to promote and maintain physical, oral and mental health.

•    Provided in a manner that is timely and culturally/linguistically appropriate.

•    Financed and delivered in a manner that leverages state spending, maximizes efficiency of resources, eliminates waste, and supports economic growth throughout Virginia.
