Primary care, when prioritized in the health system, results in people living longer lives with more equitable outcomes. Yet primary care, with chronically low funding and infrastructure investments, is in danger, as highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Texas Primary Care Consortium is working together to address the systemic issues of healthcare inequities, high costs, and lack of access.
The Texas Primary Care Consortium (TPCC) is a statewide collaborative initiative led by Texas Medical Home Initiative in partnership with Texas Health Institute.
Texas Health Institute (THI) is the non-profit, non-partisan public health institute in Texas. Since 1964, THI has served as a trusted, leading voice on public health and healthcare issues in Texas and the nation. Their expertise, strategies, and nimble approach makes them an integral and essential partner in driving systems change efforts. THI works across and within sectors to lead collaborative efforts and facilitate connections to foster systems that provide the opportunity for everyone to lead a healthy life.
Texas Medical Home Initiative (TMHI) is a non-profit, practitioner-led organization with a vision to see all Texans have access to a medical home. Their mission is to develop, implement, evaluate, and promote the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model of primary care delivery in Texas.
