The Collaborative
Improving Healthcare Access Through Regional Collaboration
The Yuba-Sutter Regional Healthcare Collaborative is a regional partnership led by the Yuba-Sutter Healthcare Council & Foundation (YSHCF) that brings together healthcare providers, clinics, community organizations, public health agencies, hospitals, funders, and residents to improve health outcomes and expand access to care across Yuba and Sutter counties.
Guided by the YSHCF’s mission
“To bring together healthcare and key stakeholders to leverage community resources to encourage and promote a healthy region"
The Collaborative focuses on practical, data-informed solutions that address real barriers facing our communities
Why This Work Matters
Residents in Yuba and Sutter counties face shared healthcare challenges, including:
-
Limited access to specialty care
-
Transportation and geographic barriers
-
Digital literacy and internet access gaps
-
Long wait times and complex referral pathways
By working regionally, partners are able to coordinate efforts, share data, and develop solutions that improve access while reducing duplication.
