Primary care is the backbone of our healthcare system, and it's no surprise that nearly 500 million visits are made to primary care physicians each year. In fact, over half of all physician visits are with primary care physicians. This is why investing in a strong primary care physician pipeline across the country is crucial for not just better patient outcomes, but also for improved care quality, lower costs, and a more sustainable healthcare workforce. By investing in primary care, we're not just investing in the health of our patients, but also in the future of healthcare.
