About Bi-State Primary Care
Association
Bi-State
Primary Care Association is a private, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization with a
broad membership of thirty-one organizations in Vermont and New Hampshire that
provide and/or support community-based primary care services. A “voice” for the medically underserved, Bi-State members
include community health centers, rural health clinics, private and
hospital-supported primary care practices, Community Action Program,
health care for the homeless programs, area health education centers,
clinics for the uninsured, family planning, and social service agencies.
Bi-State
works with federal, state, and regional health policy organizations and
policymakers, foundations, and payers to develop strategies, policies, and
programs that promote and sustain community-based, primary health care
services. With offices in Concord, New Hampshire, and Montpelier, Vermont,
the organization provides advocacy, technical assistance, education and
training, networking opportunities, and resource and information services.
Bi-State also operates a Recruitment Center that provides support,
assistance and candidate referrals to federally qualified health centers,
rural health clinics, as well as private and hospital-sponsored physician
practices throughout both Vermont and New Hampshire. The Recruitment
Center focuses on the recruitment and retention of primary care providers
including physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants
and dental hygienists. The staff is a resource for employers and
candidates alike regarding the eligibility requirements and availability
of recruitment incentive programs such as state educational loan
repayment, Conrad State 30 and National Health Service Corps programs.
