FPIN is proud to join our colleagues across family medicine in sharing this important message about the power of primary care.

Thank you to the journals and editors who came together to amplify a unified voice for the future of primary care! 

In this joint editorial, editors of the seven US-based family medicine journals underscore the evidence that a strong primary care infrastructure is clearly related to improved health. They further argue that governments and health systems must invest in the primary care workforce to ensure high-quality primary care for the US population in the future.

Please join us in wishing Jane Baque a happy birthday! Chances are that if you've engaged in an FPIN writing project, you've heard from Jane.

"I love that the mission of the organization is rooted in both publication and education, and has found a unique and worthwhile way to combine both into impactful opportunities for members to contribute to the literature. I feel fortunate to be part of a community that is striving for the best in practice."
