Primary Care Office 

The purpose of the Primary Care Office (PCO) is to enhance access to primary health care for the underserved. The PCO is funded by the Federal Department of Health and Human Services through a yearly grant. The work of the PCO is centered on representing the needs of those in need of access and of the organizations and providers who serve them.

The PCO is involved in community and systems development work, health care planning, provision of technical assistance, and advocacy. The scope of primary care work includes medical, dental, mental health, vision, and wellness services. The PCO is concerned with the integration of all of these services and with establishing evidence-based practices and new service models.
