How will this information be used?

We will use submissions to identify priorities and provide real testimonials for articles and research. This information may be shared with policy-makers to help inform their decision-making in support of primary care investment.

Why is sharing my opinions and story important to primary care?

This is coupled with being underfunded and supported by a payment model that prioritizes the number of patient visits rather than the value of care.
