Reliable access to primary care is foundational to any healthy population, but achieving that goal is anything but simple. This month, Founder and Executive Director Elizabeth Woodcock sits down with three inspiring primary care leaders: Dr. Melissa Blakeman, Medical Director for Patient Access, Regional Medical Director, Maryland Suburbs, Johns Hopkins Community Physicians; Dr. Jessica Nordstrom, Access Medical Director for Baylor Scott & White Medical Group; and Dr. Gina Engel, Associate Chief Medical Officer of Ambulatory for UVA Health. Together, they address some of the innovative strategies primary care leaders are using to improve access, tackle systemic barriers, and chart a hopeful path forward—ensuring better outcomes for our patients and communities alike.
