Primary Care

From Watertown to Brooklyn, from Buffalo to Montauk, rural, urban and suburban communities across New York State are seeing primary care providers cut services or close entirely as they succumb to ever-rising costs.

As a result of this trend, many new doctors are choosing more lucrative specialized practices, leaving communities without the core services they need to stay healthy.

Despite this growing crisis, New York has several options to reinforce and grow its primary care system. NYSHealth is working to provide potential solutions to the problems we face in primary care and currently supports two grantees pursuing State- and community-based solutions.
