Vision

Our department will work toward the creation of a health care system that is:

• Built on a primary care base with family physicians assuming a leadership role.
• Composed of diverse, culturally competent health care practitioners willing to practice in underserved areas.
• Consistently obtaining high-quality outcomes with fewer health disparities.
• Offering community-based and population-based services available to prevent disease, and once disease develops, minimize complications.
• Cost effective and affordable.
• Improving quality of care through research.

Where resources and skills match the need, we will provide leadership in our local and regional area to conduct projects in order to realize the above vision.
