This year’s Match told us two important things about the primary care workforce: First, we’re headed in the right direction. Family medicine welcomed the largest class in the history of the specialty. Second, we need to keep this momentum going. bit.ly/4ts7JYO

Primary care is vital for everyone, but there is a growing shortage. Between 2017 and 2023, the number of family docs practicing in rural communities dropped 11%. Read more about this in @AnnFamMed bit.ly/4qhpW9S

Having a primary care physician improves chronic disease prevention and management. Our new report showed that 95.5% of adults with a primary care physician got screenings for chronic disease prevention, compared to just 67.6% of those without a PCP. bit.ly/4qE31Ft

If you want to avoid hospitalization or major medical bills, one of the most effective moves is to go see a #primarycare doctor before something becomes a major health issue. Thanks @Marketplace for featuring our new thematic report: bit.ly/4cwudCA

#GrahamCenter research was cited in new a @Medscape feature, which highlights that more than 100 million Americans — nearly one third of the population — face challenges obtaining primary care. https://wb.md/4r29fAc

Policymakers: primary care is an essential tool to address chronic disease. New @TheGrahamCenter research shows: ⬆️ Adults and children are more with a regular source of primary care are more likely to receive key preventive services. ⬇️ For adults with chronic disease, having a usual source of primary care lowers the odds of having any hospitalization by 20% and any emergency department (ED) visit by 11%. ⬇️For children with chronic disease who regularly see a primary care clinician, the benefits are even greater. ED visits and hospitalizations for conditions that can be treated in an outpatient setting are lowered by 50%. buff.ly/imnmX6E

Primary care is one of the smartest investments our health system can make. A new report from @TheGrahamCenter @PhysiciansFound @MilbankFund shows adults w/a usual source of primary care are 20% less likely to be hospitalized. Read more: buff.ly/imnmX6E
