Impact
Since 2007, more than 30,000 patients have received primary care, with approximately 20 percent receiving diagnostic and specialty care. Clinics share a web-based data system; patients receive medications through the Cooperative Central Pharmacy and pharmaceutical company programs; and a coordinated specialty referral program shortens wait times for care and avoids duplication of services.
