America’s primary care system is under immense strain, as millions of people, particularly those in rural and underserved communities, continue to struggle to access care. Funding for the Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) program, Community Health Centers (CHCs), and the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) has now officially expired, leaving critical training and service programs in jeopardy.

Every day of inaction places physicians and patients’ access to care at increased risk. Continued delays in determining funding levels will disrupt residency programs, threaten workforce stability, and limit access to essential care in communities already facing shortages.

CAFM remains resolute in its advocacy for long-term, stable funding for these programs to ensure that medical training and care delivery in underserved areas can continue without interruption.

We urge members to contact their legislators today and call for immediate action to strengthen primary care.
