Description
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funds State and Regional Primary Care Association (PCA) cooperative agreements to develop and deliver technical assistance for existing and potential Health Center Program award recipients and look-alikes. PCAs provide support directly and collaboratively with other HRSA-funded technical assistance programs, with the goal of improving the health of medically vulnerable individuals and communities.
The program supports greater access to high-quality preventive and primary care, improved chronic disease prevention and management, and health center workforce recruitment, retention, and training. Other priorities include preparing for, responding to, and recovering from emergent health events; implementing payer strategies, including value-based care, to sustain financially healthy centers; and accelerating data-informed improvements in operations and clinical quality.
