Grant: Planning and Dissemination Grant - Institute Community Support

Around the world, individuals and communities lack access to high quality primary care - care that is close to home (accessible), that is constant over time (continuous), that addresses most health issues (comprehensive), and refers you to other parts of the healthcare system when needed (coordinated). This is even more true for those who are poor, racialized or live more remotely. One major reason for these problems is a lack of healthcare workers. Our project aims to bring together a team of researchers, healthcare workers, and policymakers from around the world to understand what needs to be done to ensure that communities have access to high quality primary care, which will then result in improved overall health.
