PCAs provide a communication forum for providers of primary health care, relative to administrative, managerial and clinical issues. PCAs promote the provision of comprehensive, quality health care to the medically underserved as well as advocate effective solutions to guarantee that quality care is available to all regardless of their ability to pay.

Across the United States, free and low-cost dental clinics play a vital role in making oral healthcare reachable for everyone. Supported by government funding, non-profit organisations, and charitable contributions, these clinics deliver essential dental treatment to those who need it most — including uninsured individuals, low-income families, children, seniors, and people receiving government assistance.
