National Primary Care Survey Shows Challenges Remain

According to the most recent results shared by the Primary Care Collaborative and Larry A. Green Center, national surveying of primary care teams throughout the country show some modest gains have happened recently but primary care remains in significant need of support: 35% say revenue and pay are still significantly lower than pre-pandemic levels and net losses threaten current and future viability. Another 30% of clinicians say the financial picture has been slowing improving but the workforce is fragile and in trouble. And 1 in 5 practices report they have clinicians who have chosen early retirement or left their jobs as a direct result of the pandemic.
