Accessing Specialty Care for Community Health Center Patients - Case: Lea Nolan
Carol Finn, the executive director of Heartland Community Health, hands Jenny, the health center's referral coordinator and care coordinator, a tissue. Jenny's shedding frustrated tears because this is the third time this week that she's been unable to find a specialty care provider willing to treat one of the health center's uninsured or underinsured patients.

Question 3. What are the consequences of failing to obtain specialty care for the community health center's uninsured and underinsured patients?
