About:

Founded in 1993, the Primary Care Development Corporation (PCDC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that every community has timely and effective access to primary care. Our goal is to increase the capacity and quality of primary care in underserved communities to achieve our vision of “Excellent Healthcare in Every Neighborhood.” To achieve its mission, PCDC relies on three strategies aimed at improving health outcomes, reducing health disparities, and lowering healthcare costs in communities where primary care is needed most. These strategies are investing in primary care facilities; strengthening service delivery; and leading policy initiatives. PCDC helps primary care providers expand access to care, improve productivity, and qualify for Medical Home recognition and EHR Meaningful Use certification. Using proven strategies, we work side by side with our clients, helping them assess and understand their operational issues; develop customized strategies for change; define measurable outcomes; and establish processes to sustain these improvements.
