Grant Funds Awarded to Support Independent Physicians in Improving Health Care Delivery and Access

Last Updated: Jun 18, 2021

 

 

The Pennsylvania Medical Society (PAMED) recently teamed up with its Care Centered Collaborative and Highmark to award nearly $4 million in Community Care Grants to 98 group practices and 38 solo practitioners, involving a total of 306 physicians. Eighty-eight are in primary care, and forty-eight are specialty providers.

"PAMED is most appreciative of Highmark’s generosity in this innovative effort to enhance health care throughout the state of Pennsylvania," said PAMED President Michael A. DellaVecchia, MD, PhD, FAAO, FACS, FICS, FASLMS, FCPP.

The purpose of this grant funding is to support physicians in providing services that improve health care and make it more accessible. Eligible projects included health care services for the uninsured and unable to pay for services, programs for the prevention and treatment of disease or injury, and other services and programs such as health or mental health services for veterans.

“The PA Clinical Network (PACN) is honored to connect Pennsylvania physicians to resources that help our doctors provide excellent care every day in their local practices,” said John Pagan, MD, MBA, FACS, Chair and CEO of the PA Clinical Network. “The Community Care Grant is yet another example of how these collaborations can benefit patients in their communities with their trusted PAMED doctors. Congratulations to everyone who made this project a success!”
