How Many Primary Care Providers Do You Need?

A Framework for Growth and Access Planning

Wednesday, October 28, 2026

12:00–1:00 p.m. ET

Live Webinar

Between reimbursement pressures, provider shortages, and an aging patient population, a strong primary care plan matters more than ever. Primary care is a vital access point for the community, a driver of hospital growth, and an important part of succeeding in value-based contracts.

 

Join the Michigan Center for Rural Health for a practical session focused on three important planning questions:

  1. How many primary care providers do you need?

  2. Where do you need them?

  3. How much capacity do you have today?
