Quality primary care is transformative and a cornerstone of healthy, thriving communities. PCDC, a nationally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and community development financial institution (CDFI), catalyzes excellence in primary care through strategic community investment, capacity building, and policy initiatives to achieve health equity. PCDC helps primary care practices improve delivery of care by providing affordable capital as well as a variety of training and technical assistance services. Since its founding in 1993, PCDC has assisted over 2,800 practices in 40 states and has leveraged more than $1.1 billion to improve care in low-income communities.

PCDC's Capital Investment Practice invests in communities by providing advisory services and flexible, affordable capital to create lasting and sustainable impact for the organizations and the communities they serve. PCDC is uniquely positioned to provide financing that is tailored to transforming and expanding primary care, including, wherever possible, the integration of comprehensive medical, dental, and behavioral health services.  PCDC provides strategic advice to help organizations that are planning facility development projects and offers a variety of affordable and flexible short-term and long-term loan solutions to support those capital projects as well as other business and service expansions. PCDC's Capital Investment staff understand primary care business models and monitor policy changes and regulations that affect primary care practices and revenue streams and serve as trusted advisors to clients on what it takes to successfully finance capital projects in a changing health care environment.  To fund our loans, we raise impact-focused capital from government, banks, and foundations. We also partner with other community lenders and advocates who are also dedicated to catalyzing excellence in primary care to ensure we can meet all borrowers' needs, regardless of project size.

PCDC's Performance Improvement Practice (PI) partners with health care organizations, helping them understand their challenges, develop customized plans for change, define and achieve measurable outcomes and create lasting and sustainable impact for their organizations and those they serve.  Areas of expertise include service integration, practice operations, capacity building, and population health management.  PI's team offers individualized coaching, facilitates learning collaboratives, provides consulting, leads quality improvement projects, develops curriculum and delivers training programs designed for our client's needs.  Our team works with health care organizations, including federally qualified health centers, hospital ambulatory care departments, private practices and care teams to implement strategies, processes and workflows to provide patient-centered care that is person-focused, continuous, comprehensive and coordinated.  Our goal is to transform primary care organizations by building their capacity to integrate key services and activities so that they are better able to provide high quality care, thereby improving the health of their population, and reducing total cost of care.
