Primary Care Network Council

Given that primary care services represent the foundation of the safety net, the Primary Care Network Council offers a forum to discuss issues that affect their mission and ways of improving the safety net. The Council also serves as a support group, with staff liaison from the Health Authority, providing other members assistance as needed. The Council advises the Health Authority on new services needed in the safety net.
The council may take on an initiative to resolve a particular issue, such as the closure of Detroit Riverview Hospital. The Council established the East Side Initiative to assess the needs and develop a plan for resolving the health care crisis in that area of Detroit.

The Primary Care Network Council meets quarterly at the Health Authority offices.
