As a nurse practitioner employed by a community health care center, I find that I am able to practice primary care the way I imagined I might when I was a student. The characteristics and needs of the particular population I serve have given me ample opportunities. The community health center administrators have not always prioritized expenditures the way my colleagues and I think they should, and we are not immune from the financial and market forces that affect primary care in private practices. However, the essence of primary care is valued by the organization, and it offers me the opportunity to provide this care to a community that needs it.
作为一名受雇于社区医疗保健中心的执业护士，我发现自己能够按照学生时代想象的方式从事初级保健工作。我所服务的特定人群的特点和需求给了我充足的机会。社区卫生中心的管理人员并非总是按照我和同事们认为应该的方式来优先安排支出，而且我们也无法免受影响私人诊所初级保健的财务和市场力量的影响。然而，初级保健的本质受到该组织的重视，它为我提供了向有需要的社区提供这种护理的机会。
