Dr. Barbara Starfield's work demonstrated that countries with primary care-oriented health systems have better population health outcomes, higher quality care, greater health equity, and lower costs. 

The Starfield Summit is an ongoing series of meetings that provide an opportunity for conversation among a diverse group of leaders in primary care research and policy. The Summits are intended to galvanize participants, generate important discussion, and enable research and policy agenda-setting in support of primary care function as an essential catalyst in health system reform.
