Center for Professionalism and Value
American Board of Family Medicine Foundation
Health care in the United States is going through stormy changes that threaten health professionals’ wellbeing and the public's trust. The ways in which health care professionals are currently measured and valued often work against the behaviors and relationships that patients want and expect from their providers. The Center for Professionalism & Value in Health Care (CPV) aims to study relationships between professionalism and value, promote their alignment, recommend ways to reduce burden, and better support outcome and quality improvement.
Farley Health Policy Center
University of Colorado
The Farley Health Policy Center (FHPC) strives to achieve more equitable whole health for individuals, families, and communities by developing and translating evidence to inform policy and to advance comprehensive, integrated strategies that recognize the integration and interdependence of physical, behavioral, and social health. The FHPC was created in 2014 to fill a need on the campus: an interdisciplinary and interprofessional health policy center to address systemic fragmentation and inequities that impede health and well-being.
The Green Center works to reclaim and reconstitute the intellectual foundations of primary care, to advance the science of medicine learned and practiced within layered and competing social frameworks of meaning, and to deliver on a now 50-year-old promise: better health and improved health care through a synergistic focus on both humanism and healing. We are nimble, inquisitive, curious, and open.
The National Center for Primary Care
Morehouse School of Medicine
The National Center for Primary Care (NCPC) is a national resource for front-line practitioners, educators, researchers, and policymakers who impact our primary healthcare system.

The mission is to strengthen the primary care system through a multi-focused approach of education, training, evidence-based research and rigorous policy evaluation and analysis, with the goal of advancing the Quadruple AIM and improving the healthcare system. The Quadruple AIM can only be accomplished in a healthcare system that prioritizes health equity, eradicates health disparities and promotes population health for underserved and marginalized populations.
Northern New England Systems Transformation for Primary Care
Dartmouth Health and Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth
Home to one the most rural academic medical centers in the country and one of its oldest medical schools, the goal of Dartmouth’s Northern New England Systems Transformation for Primary Care (NNEST-PC) is to ensure that whole-person and equitable primary care (PC) is implemented in rural Northern New England (NNE). Moreover, we advocate for a fair and just distribution of resources and access to primary care. Dartmouth’s NNEST-PC achieves this through four foundational domains: clinical practice, education and training, innovation, research & technology, and health policy and advocacy.
Primary Care Research Center for Healing People and Communities
University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
Located at the heart of San Antonio, Texas, our Center works to promote trusting, healing relationships with people and communities historically affected by racism and exclusion. We aim to expand the scope of bioethics to a framework of vulnerability (before and beyond equity) to help us identify the sources of harms and promote our greatest joy and transformation in face-to-face interactions. We teach, practice and study in advanced primary care practices that partner with communities to co-create innovations, integrating health and social needs for shared futures in which the capabilities for health are available to all.
