              CHAPTER 2--COMMUNITY HEALTH ADVISOR PROGRAM

SEC. 2311. SHORT TITLE.

    This chapter may be cited as the ``National Community Health 
Advisor Act''.

SEC. 2312. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Poverty, geographic isolation, cultural differences, 
        lack of transportation, low literacy, lack of access to 
        services and further difficulties resulting from a lack of 
        continuity of care, are barriers for millions of low-income and 
        underserved Americans in the current health care delivery 
        system.
            (2) The Public Health Service has determined that many 
        health problems are rooted in poverty and hit hardest at those 
        least able to protect themselves.
            (3) The Public Health Service has established goals and 
        objectives regarding improvements in the health of the public 
        by the year 2000. An evaluation by the Service, entitled 
        ``Health United States 1992 and Healthy People 2000 Review'', 
        illustrates the acute access problem faced by rural areas and 
        the inner cities. The evaluation cites the fact that suburbs 
        have the lowest death rates, while death rates in rural 
        counties are 12 percent higher and in large core metropolitan 
        counties, 19 percent higher.
            (4) Discussions of health care reform focus almost 
        exclusively on questions of how to extend health insurance to 
        the Nation's 35-40 million uninsured and make services 
        available while simultaneously bringing medical costs under 
        control; however, it is imperative to correct the fundamental 
        and deep-rooted obstacles that low-income urban and rural 
        Americans confront when trying to access medical care and 
        preventive health services. For example, in 1991, 19 million 
        American women qualified for mammography screening benefits 
        through Medicare; however, only 670,000 (or less than 3 
        percent) took advantage of this benefit.
            (5) People who are local, indigenous members and residents 
        of underserved communities are uniquely knowledgeable about 
        their populations' needs; where such individuals are already 
        serving as community health advisors, they communicate to 
        health and social service providers the needs of community 
        members, provide quality health promotion and disease 
        prevention information to the community and serve as the 
        crucial link between their communities and providers to 
        increase utilization of available preventive health services 
        and to reach out to communities to increase the effectiveness 
        of the health care delivery system, reduce preventable 
        morbidity and mortality, and improve the quality of life.
