Health Care and other Resources

A society is judged by how well it cares for its most vulnerable.

Not all barriers to good health are medical. Appropriate housing, access to healthy food, transportation, affordable medications, emotional support, etc. all play a role. Harford County is proud to have a number of Care Coordination programs that help link residents to the programs and assistance they need to get well.
