The MTW program, run by HRSA's Bureau of Primary Health Care, showcases innovative, community-based programs that address barriers to primary health care. In addition to physical barriers, there are financial, cultural and attitudinal barriers to health care access. MTW Campaign winners are replicable programs with documented improved health and economic outcomes. Communities across the country have recognized the importance of making primary health care one of the issues addressed in community development planning. We partner with 41 organizations across the country to develop solutions.
Partnership is a critical element in winning models.
In addition to federal and state partnerships, hospitals, academic institutions and faith-based organizations provide care, training and outreach.
