Last year, the Health Plan of San Mateo (HPSM) made true on its promise to invest in primary care in San Mateo County to help our network tackle the primary care crisis and lay the groundwork for advanced primary care. Through four new provider grants, HPSM’s commission has already approved $10 million for primary care practices across our county to stabilize, expand and/or enhance the way primary care teams do their work.
To celebrate the one-year anniversary of our Primary Care Provider Grants, here are some important metrics from the program’s first year:
$10 million | 27 | $1,776,880 |
There’s still time to apply for grants
Funding will be available until 2028 or until it runs out. Our four Primary Care Provider Grants are:
- Primary Care Team Expansion Grant – Hire and integrate new interprofessional team members
- Core Team Stabilization Grant – Recruit and retain primary care providers and medical assistants
- Provider Sabbatical Grant – Retain providers by enhancing resilience through sabbatical
- Custom Pilot Grant – Design pilots and programs that improve primary care team capacity, bandwidth and joy
