responsibilities due to financial
difficulties as well as management and
legal concerns. TPCA has been a HRSA
funded Primary Care Association since
1985 and is a well established
organization with sound fiscal and

In the effort to preserve the

CHN’s Board of Directors to plan for a

These advancements will result in
measurable improvements in patient
