Dear Colleagues,

This past year was an important one in the evolution of PCP. Brian’s first full year as CEO represented a new chapter for the organization. Brian brings a passion for engagement and relationship, recognizing that complex systems change work is only possible when many actors — both people and institutions — align and partner around a common vision.

In 2020, PCP reaches the 10-year mark, and our Relational Leadership™ approach will be even more deeply ingrained in all that we do. We will do more to listen to providers inside and outside the PCP community to understand their pain points, and what PCP can do to help support them within a tumultuous healthcare system. We will do more to spread PCP’s relational ideas and ideals across the healthcare landscape. And we will do more to partner with leaders — defined not by rank or title, but by a passion to catalyze change — to co-create a culture in healthcare worthy of the people at the heart of it.

Stronger relationships alone won’t resolve all that’s ailing healthcare. But at PCP, we believe that stronger teams, woven tightly together within a community united by a shared vision, are the heart of a movement to bring healthcare back to the way it’s meant to be practiced — people helping people on a personal, relational level. From the PCP Leadership Pathway, Relational Leadership Institute, our Workshop and Keynotes, and all the students and faculty in the PCP Action Network, the momentum for this movement continues to grow. And there’s so much work left to be done.

All that PCP does would not be possible without the support of the entire PCP community and our partners. As PCP enters its second decade, we look forward to spearheading healthcare’s transformation together.
