National Primary Care Week Oct 8-12

Next week is National Primary Care Week (NPCW).  What will YOU do to celebrate? 

We have some fun activities planned incorporating a NPCW Photo Project. Here's the scoop:  
Tomorrow is the Kansas Career Opportunities Conference, taking place at the Boat House in Wichita.  Our new staff person, Anna Deines, and I will host the KAFP exhibit.  And we will have posters and markers for participants to write what Primary Care means to them.  We will take a photo of each participant holding their poster, and post it online at the NPCW "Voices for Primary Care" webpage. 

We plan to get more NPCW Photo Project participants at two other venues: at the Kansas City Faces in Family Medicine 2.0 Dinner on 10/10, and at the KC Career Opps Conf on 10-11.  Check the Voices for Primary Care webpage after each event to see the creative ideas and comments from our participants. 

If you get inspired, write out your own comment and post it on the Voices for Primary Care webpage, too!  Let's have a BIG Kansas presence on the Voices webpage and for Primary Care! 

Primary care...  Makes people & communities healthier, is timeless, brims with hope, is the future of medicine, is changing the world, is where the Patient Centered Medical Home is located, is about value, not volume....   Fill in the blank: _______________________________________________________
