The five primary goals of the RAHC include:

1.  Promote health equity and eliminate health disparities.

2.  Identify and mitigate regional SDOH needs.

3.  Align value-based purchasing initiatives to achieve better care and better health at lower costs.

4.  Support and steer population health improvement processes, including regional efforts to advance the integration of physical and behavioral health care.

5.  Center health improvement efforts in the communities where needs exist.
