Stronger primary care means better health outcomes, safer communities, and costs that do not spiral out of control.
DC residents deserve primary care that works for everyone, but right now, the system meant to serve them simply is not living up to its promise.
Pulse of the City is our community’s answer to a question:
“What would it take for every resident, in every DC community, to have high-quality preventive and primary health care?”
Grounded in two years of community conversations, hands-on policy workshops, and rigorous research, our report delivers practical, cross-sector recommendations that local leaders and community partners can act on together — starting now.
DC's healthcare future depends on getting this right and acting now. Investing in our primary care backbone is not just sound policy; it is how we build a District where everyone can thrive.
Dive into our report and recommendations, and join our community in making a healthier DC.
