Family physician Grace Yu discusses her article "The backbone of health care is breaking." In this episode, Grace reflects on the urgent decline of the primary care workforce and the growing crisis facing family medicine. She shares personal stories from more than two decades of practice—delivering babies, guiding families, and caring for patients across generations—to illustrate why strong, relationship-based primary care remains essential for equitable and effective medicine. Grace explores how debt, burnout, and institutional culture drive medical students away from primary care and calls for reforms in education, payment, and technology that honor its value. Viewers will learn how revitalizing primary care can restore trust, sustainability, and humanity in health care.
