District of Columbia

The PCO and PCA in the District together were able to document shortage areas and develop and implement the DC Health Professional Recruitment Program, a program that pays off the loans of health professionals who agree to work in DC. Also, they have had great success with the Medical Homes Initiative. By partnering with the mayor and other key players in DC, this program was created to improve the health of the District’s low-income population and reduce the cost of health care delivery by increasing clinic space by 200,000 square feet and providing high quality care to the most vulnerable DC residents.
