\"\"

The Covid-19 pandemic worsened some negative trends in primary care workforce development in Connecticut. Historically, less than 40% of physicians trained in the state stay to work with residents. In other health professions, shortages have become dire due to burnout, retirement, and meager compensation. However, despite these challenges, there have been a commitment to leverage legislation, philanthropy, and strategic partnerships to ameliorate what could have been a catastrophic impact of a global pandemic on health outcomes. Disparities notwithstanding, are there some notable successes such as the expansion of health insurance coverage, certification of community health workers and doulas, and investments in managing institutional overheads (i.e., attempts for statewide data exchange, implementation of primary care medical homes, etc.) Systemic inequality remains an inevitable roadblock for any progress and as we celebrate primary care month. This summit will leverage the local experience and expertise among diverse systems leaders to chart a more just healthcare future.<\/p>\n
