Med Student Urges Legislators To Support Innovative Models Of Care

Elizabeth Prewitt PACEsConnection writer 4/29/144:00 AM

Seeing firsthand the ways in which primary care and the health care system in general don't work for many of the neediest patients, this med student urges Minnesota legislators to support innovative models of care that will serve patients better and attract more students.

Mary went to the emergency room 68 times in 2013 despite the fact that she didn’t have 68 emergencies. She was also hospitalized four times for causes that mostly could have been prevented. She suffers from chronic pain, insulin-dependent diabetes, depression, and PTSD. Mary is 34 years old and has health insurance, but the system clearly isn’t working for her.
