Now, Campa is putting her training and commitment to work as a general internal medicine physician at One Community Health, a Sacramento FQHC and UC Davis Health partner in assuring access to care for all patients, regardless of their abilities to pay.

Primary care providers like Campa are on the frontlines of addressing that epidemic. Here, she talks about what that means for her medical practice.
