The Collaborative

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.

• Hosted the first Conversations in Healthcare Town Hall in 2024, with over 75 residents sharing their healthcare experiences and priorities

• Conducted a regional specialty telehealth study in 2025, gathering insights from:

  • 300+ patients served by local FQHCs

  • Primary care providers and referral staff

• Identified key barriers and opportunities related to telehealth access, patient

• readiness, and provider workflows
