Taken from the Primary Care Collaborative’s 2025 Evidence Report: Closing the Distance in Rural Primary Care, the PCC highlighted five case studies showcasing how rural primary care practices are innovating to meet local needs despite ongoing workforce shortages, financial pressures, and access challenges.
This case study spotlights Waco Family Medicine, a rural FQHC in Texas that provides comprehensive, team-based care while serving a high proportion of uninsured and Medicaid patients. This FQHC illustrates how diversified financing, the 340B program and workforce training help sustain access in underserved communities.
