Welcome to Central Health's Medical Access Program (MAP) or MAP Basic
MAP and MAP Basic connect members like you to local doctors, dentists, pharmacies, and specialists.
Our New Look
At Central Health, we make sure you can get the healthcare you need, wherever you are.
We’re happy to announce we have a new look for the Central Health system that shows how we are all united in our promise to give you the best care possible.
How will this new logo affect you? It will make it easier for you to see Central Health, CommUnityCare Health Centers, and Sendero Health Plans are parts of the same healthcare system.
Even though we are all getting a makeover, the services we offer you won’t change. You will not need to do anything different. Just know the Central Health system is working together to make healthcare better for everyone in Travis County.
Changes you will see:
This fall, the logo and colors on the MAP and MAP Basic cards will change. Don’t worry, your current card is good until it expires. Your new card will have all the same info as your old one.
Over the next year, our new logo will begin to show up on emails, letters, websites, and social media.
Over the next two years, our new logo will be on our employees’ uniforms and on clinic signs.
Our new logo comes from talking to many MAP members like you. It stands for compassion, commitment, trust, and working together. It is bright and colorful to show we are modern and always ready to help.
When you see our new logo, it will be clear the Central Health system is working together to take care of you. If you are signing up for MAP, seeing your doctor, or getting your medications, know we are here for you.
