Abstract
Vulnerable populations include low-income individuals and families, ethnic minorities living in rural areas, older adults, and people with disabilities [1]. The population at risk for chronic diseases may experience daily social, physical, economic, and environmental challenges [2]. Advancing health services for vulnerable populations by reducing avoidable disparities and ensuring equitable access to high-quality, culturally responsive care is paramount [3].
