(mailto:[email protected]) About this month’s topic:
During this lecture, Dr. Bergman will give an overview of the history of
SCI care since WW II, which has led to the development of BCMG’s community-
based model of primary care for individuals living with complex
disabilities. She will also discuss current efforts to develop and expand
models to
coordinate care statewide as well as nationwide.
Dr. Bergman will discuss the pros and cons of this patient centered model.
She’ll offer important information about how consumers can take charge
of their health, work with their PCPs, and advocate for what they need in a
primary care setting.
