Milbank-supported networks of state officials, advocates, and others aiming to transform and invest in primary care.
The Milbank Memorial Fund has supported leaders promoting advanced primary care for decades. Our networks create forums for members to share data, participate in collaborative learning, and advocate for improved collaboration between the states and the federal government on new and ongoing initiatives. Today, we support two networks of primary care leaders: Making Care Primary Network of State Medicaid Agencies and the Primary Care Investment Network.

The Milbank Memorial Fund supports and advises the CMS Innovation Center (CMMI) on its new primary care model, Making Care Primary, which is scheduled to launch in July 2024. At CMMI’s request, we established the Making Care Primary (MCP) Network of State Medicaid Agencies (SMAs). This group of SMA leaders meets monthly as a shared learning forum, working on common priorities selected by the group in order to facilitate achievement of milestones such as directional alignment on payment. We anticipate closely following two other new CMMI models, AHEAD and ACO Flex.
Convened by the Primary Care Development Corporation and supported by the Commonwealth Fund and the Milbank Memorial Fund, this network comprises advocates and officials from more than 20 states who are actively pursuing policy to increase spending on primary care at the state level. The goals of the network are to: (1) Make progress in individual states, (2) Increase interaction among states that are pursuing similar goals, so that they can learn from each other, (3) Build up leadership capacity at the state level, both in and outside of government, and (4) Increase the political salience of the issue by supporting state leaders who are already interested.
