Mass. Health Quality Partners (MHQP) is holding a free webinar on Tuesday, June 29 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. entitled, “Primary Care Is at a Crossroads: What's Next for Massachusetts After the National Academy of Medicine Report?”
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, many primary care practices found themselves struggling to survive amid substantial uncertainty. Yet, last month, when the National Academy of Medicine issued its new report,
Implementing High-Quality Primary Care: Rebuilding the Foundation of Health Care, it received very little attention.
The webinar’s keynote speaker will be Chris Koller, president of the Milbank Memorial Fund and a member of the advisory committee that produced the report. He will be joined by an impressive group of Massachusetts healthcare leaders, including:
•
Marylou Sudders, Secretary of Health and Human Services
•
Cindy Friedman, Massachusetts State Senator and Chair of Joint Committee on Health Care Financing
•
Carole Allen, M.D., president, Massachusetts Medical Society
•
Barbara Spivak, M.D., president and CEO, Mount Auburn Cambridge Independent Practice Association
•
Jean Yang, president of Public Plans, Tufts Health Plan
•
