Abstract
Each year, millions of people nationwide have trouble getting to medical appointments and miss or delay their care due to inadequate transportation options. Lack of sufficient access to routine and preventative health care contributes to worsening health outcomes, reduces revenue for community clinics, and causes costly ambulance and emergency department visits.
This study evaluates the transportation challenges faced by patients seeking care at any of the four Saban Community Clinic (SCC) locations in Los Angeles County.
