The Association's mission is to advance geographic, financial and cultural access to comprehensive, community-oriented primary health care services for all people in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Primary Health Care Association, founded in 1982, is a private nonprofit association of Community and Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless Programs, and other organizations and individuals concerned about access to health care for underserved rural and urban populations. The Association accomplishes its mission through a wide range of activities and services, including:

• Information and public education — A monthly newsletter, issue briefs and other publications provide current information about issues vital to strengthening the health care "safety net." These resources are part of our effort to enlist community involvement in our campaign to achieve health care access for all.
• Government relations and legislative advocacy — Association staff educate policy makers at the state and federal levels and influence policy development to promote our vision of access to comprehensive, quality primary health care services for all residents of our state.
• Guidance and support opportunities — Training sessions, workshops, formal and informal networking meetings provide members with the ability to improve care, learn new skills and enhance clinical and operational effectiveness.
