Integrating Peer Support in Primary Care
Thursday, February 27 | 1:00PM - 2:00PM ET

Join us for a discussion focused on how peer support can enhance primary care, chronic disease management, behavioral health and more. Peer support links people living with chronic conditions, providing them with emotional, social and practical assistance.  Speakers will highlight evidence demonstrating the positive impact that peer support has on health outcomes, its role in patient engagement, and the benefits and challenges of integrating peer support in primary care settings.

Edwin B. Fisher, PhD, Global Director, Peers for Progress
Leticia Ibarra, MPH, Director of Programs, Clinicas de Salud del Pueblo, Inc.
PCPCC Supports SGR
Repeal Bill
Earlier this month, Members of the Senate Finance, House Ways and Means and Energy and Commerce Committees introduced legislation that would repeal the Sustainable Growth Rate and replace it with a reimbursement model that rewards quality, efficiency, and innovation over volume.

Earlier this week, the PCPCC expressed its support for the "SGR Repeal and Medicare Provider Payment Modernization Act of 2014", and commended the agreement's recognition of the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) as an alternative payment model.
