Bi-State Primary Care Association was founded as a 501(c)3 charitable organization in 1986 with offices in Bow, New Hampshire, and Montpelier, Vermont. Bi-State Primary Care Association holds a cooperative agreement with the Health Resources and Services Administration Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) to provide training and technical assistance (T/TA) to safety-net providers. This T/TA is based on statewide and regional needs to help health centers improve programmatic, clinical, and financial performance and operations. Under this cooperative agreement, Bi-State also helps health centers and look-alikes plan for the growth of health centers in their state, as well as develop strategies to recruit and retain staff.
