Need Care? Get Care.
The “Need Care? Get Care” public education campaign addresses misconceptions around health care access and encourages appropriate use of hospitals, health systems and clinics. It builds confidence with people that health care is available and safe by demystifying the two main barriers to care experienced by the public – fear of catching COVID-19 and concern that providers are too busy with COVID-19 patients to care for others.
