• Summary
• From our beginnings at the Committee for Social
  Education and
• Action of the First Presbyterian Church of
  Marquette, through our
• early access program growth in 2001, the MCAC
  family has had our
• patients foremost in our thoughts and actions.
• In the year 2002 a truly operational set of MCAC
  programs were
• firmly established in Marquette County to serve
  those patients.
• The Medical Care Access Coalition is considered
  by many national and
• state organizations to be a successful model to
  be emulated and
• duplicated.
• Most importantly, over 741 MAP patients and 425
  HAP patients
• received needed medical, dental, and optical
  services through the
• activities of this coalition of talented
  community people, medical
• professionals and state organizations.
• These MCAC patients are our friends, neighbors,
  parents, brothers and sisters.
• We, as a community, should be very proud of our
  efforts to help all residents
