In a recent North Carolina Medical Journal article on the importance of physician assistants/associates, the PCC’s mission was higlighted.

“The nonprofit Primary Care Collaborative (PCC) pro­motes a transformation of the health care delivery system that is built on a strong foundation of primary care using a medical home model. The PCC model promotes an inter­disciplinary team approach that includes PAs focused on patient engagement and trust. This model is patient-cen­tered, coordinated, accessible, and committed to quality and safety. In order for patients and families to man­age and organize their care and fully participate in shared decision-making, there must be a focus on strong and trusted relationships with the care team and open com­munication regarding health status.”
