Equity-oriented Primary Care Attachment
October 9, 2025 | 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm
In this session, our panel will outline a pathway for equitable attachment to primary care. We will introduce a toolkit designed to support interdisciplinary teams—including those in Family Health Teams, clinics and other primary care settings—in defining target populations and outcome measures, building community partnerships and recruiting and retaining providers for new patients. Panelists will also explore strategies for optimizing team-based care and refining processes based on feedback from both patients and providers.
