patient's outcomes by building a trusting relationship and helping
them change behaviors.
--- Coaching for health: The Lead PCP acts as a health coach,
rather than just a consultant for sickness, by helping patients set
short and long-term health goals, partners with the patient to work
toward the goals, and frequently follows up on those goals on the
path to improved health for their patients.

1.0 PCP FTE slots are 18-21), HEDIS> 4, CG CAHPS (patient
experience), clinical gaps closures, and medical cost effectiveness
relative to center target. Each Lead PCP will have goals for these
metrics and will be expected to work towards those targets with
their center and market leadership as well as their care teams.

passion along with center leadership.
