It’s what we need to do for our communities

“Project Access Northwest helps improve the quality of care for uninsured patients by making certain all the dots are connected. What comes to the specialist is appropriate, what goes back to the primary care physician is appropriate AND everyone is communicating, circling around that patient and giving the care he or she needs. It is quite practical. It resonates with the hearts of physicians, it gives providers more practice satisfaction, and frankly, it’s what we need to do for our communities.”
