summarize in own words. Access to primary care is necessary to improving the health outcomes of communities. With the recent spread of the novel Coronavirus in North Carolina, primary care is critical, as it is an entry-point to further care. Many rural areas in North Carolina lack adequate access to primary care providers. The disparities in access between rural and metropolitan areas have continued to grow despite an overall increase of physicians in NC. The NC Institute of Medicine (NCIOM) definition of primary care practitioner includes physicians, nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (Pas) and certified nurse midwives (CNMs). In Figure 35, Beaufort County is shaded in green, a color that indicates the county is meeting the NCIOM target ratio of 1 primary care provider to every 1,500 people. This is largely due to coverage of Pitt County (in Greenville), however transportation may not allow equal access for Beaufort County residents.As shown in this figure, the number of physicians per 10,000 population in Beaufort County decreased from 14.7 physicians in 2000 to 9.69 in 2019, which is below the state rate of 24.3 per 10,000 population.
