The PCC is grateful to Sen. Ron Wyden, Sen. Mike Crapo, the United States Senate Committee on Finance and lead staffers Marisa Salemme and Conor Sheehey for starting an important conversation about how we can deliver better chronic care. But as lawmakers weigh these important changes, it's essential they place primary care at the center of their efforts.

Every primary care visit is an opportunity to identify suicide risk and potentially save a life." Our CMO, Dr. Christine Yu Moutier co-authored a piece alongside Dr. Roshni Koli of Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute in STAT. Read here:

Primary Care Collaborative reposted this
Sincere thanks to the Senate Finance Committee for its chronic care/Medicare payment reform efforts. I urge Congress to put primary care at the center of that work. Additional thanks to the Primary Care Collaborative for their leadership in crafting our collective response to the Finance Committee's white paper "Bolstering Chronic Care through Physician Payment: Current Challenges and Policy Options.” The future of healthcare in America depends upon payment transformation with better resourcing of our crucial foundation of #primarycare.
