Primary Care Access

Our Mission and Vision

The Primary Care Access Network (PCAN) is a collaborative of healthcare providers, community organizations, and local partners working to improve the accessibility, quality, and coordination of healthcare for the underinsured and uninsured populations of Orange County, Florida. We envision a community where everyone has access to a Medical Home, regardless of their financial situation.

Who We Are

PCAN brings together diverse stakeholders, including primary care centers, community agencies, hospitals, and social service providers. We work collaboratively to:

• Ensure that everyone in Orange County has access to quality healthcare.
• Reduce disparities in healthcare access and outcomes.
• Improve the overall health of the community.

Our Services

PCAN offers various programs and services to support our mission:

1. Medical Homes

• We establish "medical homes" for uninsured and underinsured residents, providing them with a primary care provider, access to preventive care, and ongoing management of their health needs.

2. Insurance Marketplace

• We partner with licensed Navigators who provide confidential and free assistance with navigating healthcare.gov, choosing health insurance plans, and enrolling in coverage.

3. Community Outreach

• We raise awareness about healthcare disparities and advocate for improved access to care.
• We coordinate volunteer opportunities for individuals and organizations to engage in the community.

4. Advocacy and Policy Development

• We work with policymakers and other stakeholders to develop and implement policies that support our mission.
• We share best practices and facilitate collaboration between healthcare providers and community organizations.

5. Data and Quality Improvement

• We use data-driven insights to improve our programs and initiatives.

Leadership and Governance

PCAN is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of community stakeholders. We also have two leadership groups: the Executive Health Care Roundtable and the Coordinating Committee. These groups provide valuable input and guidance on our strategic direction and operational activities.
