The Need to Focus on Vulnerable
Populations
Although the needs of medically vulnerable populations are serious,
are often debilitating or life-threatening, and require extensive
and intensive medical and nonmedical services, these needs tend to

Chronic illnesses are significantly more prevalent among low-income
and other disadvantaged populations. Additionally, the impact of
these illnesses is more severe among the unemployed, uninsured, and
less educated. For example, patients with a chronic illness who
have less than a high school education are 3 times more likely to
report being in poor health than those with the same illness who
hold a college degree.
