We work with health care providers and communities to improve access to care for the underserved.
About TPCO
Texas Primary Care Office (TPCO) works with health care providers and communities to improve access to care for the underserved by recruiting and retaining providers to practice in federally designated shortage areas, and working with our stakeholder partners to expand new and existing Safety Net Sites. Funding for programs is provided by Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the State of Texas. As part of our Cooperative Agreement with HRSA, we submitted our most recent Statewide Needs Assessment during our current project period.
