What is the Primary Care Network

 

Effect local change. Learn from your peers. Share your ideas and your skills.

 

The Primary Care Network (PCN) - a not for profit corporation that will provide a strong voice for primary care in our region, work directly with the OHT, advocate for our patients and our needs, request and deploy funding for projects that matter to you.

 

The KW4 PCN’s mission is to empower and connect Primary Care Providers through integration, collaboration and innovation.

 

We are just beginning. Your voice will be fundamental in how we grow, where we focus, and what we achieve.
