Our second area of focus addresses the issue of the uninsured.  In Danville-Pittsylvania County, approximately 1/4 of the population is without sufficient health insurance.

In addition, wellness and prevention are important, as our area has high rates of heart disease, hypertension, and cancer.

Making sure people have access to the health care they need, while at the same time working to improve the health of our community overall, your United Way is investing in the following programs:
