Primary, Rural, and Indian Health

The mission of the Primary, Rural, and Indian Health Division (PRIHD) is to improve the health status of special, targeted population groups living in medically underserved urban and rural areas of California. The principal objective of PRIHD is to improve and make more accessible comprehensive primary and preventive health care services and other public health services for at-risk persons, including the medically uninsured or indigent, and those who would otherwise have either limited or no access to services due to cultural or language barriers.
