About The Primary Care Coalition of Montgomery County, Maryland

The Primary Care Coalition of Montgomery County, Maryland was founded in 1993 when a group of physicians and health care officials imagined a Montgomery County where every resident had access to high-quality health services. They envisioned a dependable source of primary care for low-income, uninsured individuals in our community and created a framework that shared the responsibility for providing that care across the public and private sectors. The Primary Care Coalition (PCC) was formed to help make their vision a reality.

The PCC is deeply connected to the continuum of care for low-income uninsured, ethnically diverse residents of Montgomery County who frequently lead medically and socially complex lives. The PCC strives to provide a coordinated network of high-quality care for vulnerable residents of Montgomery County. The PCC works with the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), 12 independent safety-net clinics, five hospitals, and a number of other community partners to help patients’ access the full range of care they need. 

The mission of PCC is to be the catalyst for developing and coordinating a community-based healthcare system that strives for universal access and health equity for underserved community members. The vision of PCC is that all community members have the opportunity to live healthy lives, and that Montgomery County will be the healthiest community in the nation and a model for providing access to high quality and efficient care for all.
