Abstract
- The article reports on the call of family physicians to develop medical homes in the U.S. It states that U.S. President Barack Obama has shown interest to fund a medical home to oversee the conditions of chronically ill patients in the country. It cites that joining the agenda is the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) that released a discussion paper and called on governments to establish a medical home. The move of CFPC is not only intended for ill patients but for every Canadian.
