Mission

Our mission is to increase access to primary care for underserved populations. This is achieved by:

• Facilitating the recruitment and retention of primary care providers in underserved communities through education and training programs.

• Developing an information and communication network to provide consultation, technical assistance, education and other professional support for community-based primary care practitioners.

• Increasing the number of individuals from minority and underserved communities and populations who enter primary care and allied health professions.

• Evaluating and addressing public health needs of communities within and among the regions, and providing innovative multi-disciplinary responses to those needs.
