Greetings!
Wishing you a happy, healthy Thanksgiving! The Texas Primary Care Consortium has been very active in our mission to advance equitable, comprehensive, and sustainable primary care for all Texans in the last few months. Our commitment to working together to address the systemic issues of health care inequities, high costs, and lack of access continues with a letter to Lieutenant Governor Patrick and Speaker Phelan that spells out three interim charges on behalf of TPCC, representing diverse multi-sectoral perspectives. We look forward to sharing future updates on outcomes and the final letter upon confirmation of receipt from the Texas House.
