DHSS Secretary sounds alarm on state's limited primary care options

Delaware Public Media

A recent op-ed from Delaware Health and Social Services Secretary Kara Odom Walker focused on issues surrounding primary care, highlighting family doctor shortages - which are especially acute in Delaware - and calling for investing in family care practices.

Delaware Public Media’s Sarah Mueller recently talked to Walker about the issues she raised in her op-ed and how the First State is addressing them.

Walker's op-ed appeared in The Milbank Quarterly - a peer-reviewed journal from the Milbank Memorial Fund, which seeks to improve population health by focusing on health policy.
