SCOPE

SCOPE is one of several initiatives advancing the Northumberland Primary Care Network's commitment to improving access to comprehensive primary care. By connecting providers with specialist advice, community resources, and coordinated navigation support, SCOPE helps strengthen the patient medical home, reduce administrative burden, and improve timely access to care. As part of the broader Primary Care Access and Attachment Initiative, SCOPE complements other local programs, including Supported Attachment, Health Care Connect, and Interprofessional Care Team expansion.
