National and Local Efforts to Strengthen Primary Care

Thurs., May 30, 12-1 p.m. ET | Virtual

Primary care is the one medical specialty that reliably demonstrates improvement in health outcomes, health equity, and health care costs, yet there has been a noted decline in primary care financing, capacity, performance, equity, and patient access.
