Primary Care at a Crossroads: Navigating Recent Policy, Budget, and Regulatory Changes

Primary care sits at the heart of a high-functioning health system, yet recent state and federal policy developments, including legislative actions from the most recent Texas legislative session and the implications of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (HR1), signal both significant opportunities and concerning threats for the future of primary care. Join the Texas Primary Care Consortium for a timely webinar bringing together thought-leaders, advocates, and system stakeholders to unpack the evolving landscape. This session will spotlight critical policy, budget, and regulatory changes affecting primary care delivery, financing, and infrastructure across the state. Together, we’ll explore what has changed, why it matters, who it affects, and what comes next. For a deeper dive into the state and federal policy shifts shaping this conversation, check out our latest blog, Primary Care at a Crossroads: Building on State Progress, Navigating Federal Challenges, and Seeking Common Ground. It lays the groundwork for the engaging discussion our panelists will unpack in the webinar. Whether you are a clinician, policymaker, health system leader, funder, or community partner, this discussion will equip you with insights and strategies to help navigate uncertainty, protect gains, and accelerate meaningful reforms. Learning Objectives: 1) Increase awareness of recent state and federal policy, budget, and regulatory changes, including key takeaways from the 89th Texas legislative session and HR1, that impact primary care. 2) Examine the implications of these changes on access, payment, and workforce across the primary care ecosystem. 3) Identify strategies to mitigate potential harm and leverage opportunities to strengthen and sustain primary care delivery in the state.
