Check out this great article from the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix, one of our academic partners. They support our budding program in a number of ways, including providing training and development for our program faculty.

Earlier this month, Dr. Weinand and Dr. Paul participated in the #SeeTestTreat Event hosted by @NorthCountryHC in partnership with the CAP Foundation. The event offered free breast and cervical cancer screenings, with same-day results for many. @CAPFndn

Our residents participated in the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) ALSO course over the weekend with great instructors and our attending, Dr. Davis. In Flagstaff, NCHC providers help deliver over half the babies born in the hospital!

Our inaugural class went to the Grand Canyon today to check out the North Country clinic where they will be spending some of their time. They had some time to explore the park and a little bit of Bright Angel Trail too!

The FFS payment system is an ineffective way to finance #primarycare. Congress must direct @CMSGov to expand existing alternative payment models & work to shift toward more sustainable payment designs. #StabilizeStrengthenSustain @aafp @RepOHalleran @SenatorSinema @MarthaMcSally

#COVID19 has increased the number of ppl who are eligible for Medicaid which increases the demand for #primarycare. Congress must ensure appropriate payment, allowing physicians to take on new patients. #StabilizeStrengthenSustain @aapf @RepOHalleran @SenatorSinema @MarthaMcSally

We stand with the @AAFP & urge Congress to direct HHS to set aside $20 billion in Provider Relief Funding & support HR6837/S3750 to reinstate & improve the Medicare Accelerated & Advance Payment Program. #StabilizeStrengthenSustain @RepOHalleran @SenatorSinema @MarthaMcSally

Dr. Ed Paul welcomes North Country HealthCare's new residents as the FMRP Program Director. "I rapidly became enthralled with teaching and academic medicine, and I have since spent the last 30+ years in faculty roles in five different family medicine training programs."

We are so excited to introduce the 4 doctors who will make up our inaugural class of family medicine residents. Our initial classes of residents will actively participate in fine-tuning the design and development of excellent and innovative clinical experiences. 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️
