Health Access Archetypes
Archetypes are often used in marketing to determine key messages based on the profile and needs of a person or group of people. Health for All Archetypes were developed by youth members of the Health for All Coalition to help agencies understand the core needs of potential clients and assess their readiness to serve those clients effectively.
Use the Health for All Archetypes to internally audit services, systems, and structures to ensure access to services for all community members from marketing to first client contact to closure or referrals.
Examples of services, systems and structures to audit include paperwork, referrals, fees, building environment, transportation, language access, customer experience and feedback, Americans with Disabilities Act compliance, and policies.
