Civic Academy: Primary Care Provider Shortage
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
