Civic Academy: Primary Care Provider Shortage

Posted on Events by Sarah Strausbaugh · May 12, 2026 10:37 AM

MACG Civic Academies are an opportunity to learn together, hear real stories, and build momentum for meaningful change that puts people and communities first.

Across the Portland region, too many people are struggling to find timely access to a primary care provider. Families are waiting months for appointments, relying on urgent care and emergency rooms, or going without care altogether. The impacts are personal, financial, and deeply felt across our communities.

Join MACG for a Civic Academy focused on the growing crisis in healthcare access and the shortage of primary care providers in our region.

Sunday, July 19 | 3:00–5:00 PM
at Havurah Shalom
825 NW 18th Ave, Portland, OR

This will be an interactive and participatory program designed to encourage dialogue, questions, and collective problem-solving and will include:

  • Personal testimonies from community members whose lives have been directly impacted by the lack of access to primary care
  • Perspectives from healthcare and community experts
  • Research and findings from MACG leaders who have been studying the issue
  • Discussion of practical policy solutions and community-driven action steps

All are welcome.

RSVP today!
