Red Bird Clinic, Inc., guided by Jesus Christ, empowers individuals and advocates justice by providing health programs for low-income, under-insured, and uninsured members of the surrounding communities. The areas served are officially designated as Medically Underserved Areas (MUAs) by the US Department of Health and Human Services, as a Health Care Provider Shortage Area and as a Dental Health Care Provider Shortage Area by the Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA). Specialists are over 45-90 minutes away. Kentucky is among the least healthy in our nation, ranking 44th among 50 states. Moreover, on key indicators such as diabetes and obesity its status has worsened every year since 1990 (United Health Foundation, 2012). Clay County, one of the 3 counties Red Bird Clinic Inc., serves, is sparsely populated with just 23,629 people. This low population density contributes to the grim, perilous, health status statistics. The county hovers at the bottom of Kentucky county rankings (119th out of 120) on all health indices (Kentucky Institute of Medicine, 2007). Contributing to this distinction (Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky, 2012 unless otherwise stated): 1. 44% of the population classified with fair to poor health. 2. 45% of the population receives Medicaid. 3. 12.5% Unemployment . 4. 73% are overweight or obese. 5. Infant mortality is nearly double that of the state average. 6. Violent crime rate is 4 times that for the state and more than double the USA rate. 7. Lung and bronchial cancer occur at 1.5 times the national rate (National Cancer Institute, 2012). 8. Drug arrests are nearly 3 times the state rate. 9. 37% live below the poverty level (double state rate) (U.S. Census Bureau, 2011). 10. Median value of owner-occupied housing is $56,000 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2011). 11. 49% high school graduation rate (U.S. Census Bureau, 2011).
