Making Primary Care Primary Through Policy

Texas Primary Care Consortium (TPCC), with support from its partners, brought together a statewide consensus panel to identify and advance bi-partisan, smart public policy that will help increase access, reduce costs, and improve outcomes.

The proposed policy priorities for primary care are: increasing access to high quality and cost-effective care, improving the financial stability and vitality of Texas’ primary care system, and strengthening primary care. Check out our specific policy priorities below.
