Health care delivery advocacy
Universal access to basic health care services and policies that promote cost-effective, patient-centered, high-quality primary care are top Academy advocacy priorities.
To achieve this aim, the AAFP works to educate lawmakers about what family physicians know: that a primary care system centered on whole-person care and a longitudinal physician-patient relationship leads to the best health outcomes while limiting health care costs.
