Overview

There are three main options to obtain healthcare for the almost 27 million people in America who lack health insurance. First, they can pay out of pocket, a generally infeasible option. Second, they can forego medical care altogether, adversely impacting their wellbeing. Finally, they can visit overburdened free and charitable clinics, which only have a maximum capacity of 2 million patients. Consequently, healthcare access is not equitably delivered. OmniMed aims to connect underserved populations to quality healthcare by bolstering charitable clinic capacity and increasing information for uninsured populations. We will leverage health information technologies and tap into college populations for volunteers to accomplish these goals.
