PCN Board Education

At Redmoor Health, we are dedicated to empowering PCN boards with the knowledge and strategies necessary for effective leadership and decision-making. Our PCN Board Education project aims to provide comprehensive education on key areas such as MGPA, PCARP, CAIP, and GP contracts, as well as strategic planning and quality improvement.
