FP Report -- July 1999
Policy center opens
The Academy just opened a policy center in the nation's capital.
Why? "To bring a primary care and family practice perspective to health care policy debates in D.C.," says Larry Green, M.D., director of AAFP's new Center for Policy Studies in Family Practice and Primary Care.
The center, which opened June 8, conducts research on policy issues. As the nation grapples with limited resources and rising health care costs, Green wants to infuse a family practice perspective into discussions of strategies for funding primary care research, financing GME and including all Americans in health plans.
You may contact the center at 2023 Massachusetts Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036; (202) 986-5708 by phone; (202) 986-7034 by fax; or policy@aafp.org via e-mail.
