2024 Primary Care CME Series

Our communities are calling on us—to listen, to serve, and to meet the demand for accessible, high-quality health care. When primary care thrives, so do our communities. It’s more than individual health; primary care is the critical link connecting personal well-being to the collective strength of all. By addressing both preventive and urgent health needs, primary care strengthens public health, reduces disparities, and builds resilience across neighborhoods, towns, and entire populations.
