Vision

Healthy people and communities enabled by the delivery of the best interventions for health promotion and disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment for each patient in primary care.

Mission

To accelerate discovery and translation of research into primary care practice. We will achieve this with precision data and analytics that enables a learning health system, working in partnership with patients, families, clinicians, researchers and communities.
