Regional Workgroups

Statewide & Regional Perspectives
For greater efficacy in addressing California’s uninsured, ITUP has organized its studies of 48 of California's counties into 9 regions. These regions have been delineated on the basis of population characteristics and health care needs, county health system models, and geographic considerations. Regional workgroups bring together a wide variety of local participants including plans, clinics, counties, private providers, advocates, labor, small business and brokers.
