ABOUT US
About Us
We’re a movement to build a healthcare system for the US. This system will focus on helping people, not making money. Our goal is to make sure every person has a family doctor and a place where they can get medical care. We believe that everyone should have access to basic healthcare, no matter where they live. By making sure everyone has a family doctor, we can make healthcare fair, affordable, and effective for everyone in the country.
Our Mission
We’ll build a healthcare system that is for people, not for profit, that starts by providing advanced primary care to every American, in every neighborhood and community.
Our Vision
Every American with a family doctor. Every neighborhood and community with a great primary care practice.
By including all Americans, we’ll improve public health, lower costs, and help strengthen our democracy.
