Priorities
TCI believes the challenges of healthcare workforce shortages and an aging population (healthcare workforce and general public) will require progressive and a fundamental reshaping of the way in which patient care is delivered, especially for primary care. These challenges have been compounded by the global pandemic.

As such, TCI is interested in supporting a myriad of solutions and approaches with their philanthropy. The following represent methods we could envision supporting with their philanthropic resources:
- Skilled and inclusive healthcare workforce.
- Career Laddering
- Practice and Policy Development
- Interdisciplinary Education
- Para-Professional Development
- First Generation Learners / Student Assistant Programming
- Youth Career Exploration / STEM
- Community Health Workers, Health Navigators or Apprenticeships
- Telehealth / Distance Learning / Rural Access
- Health Career Degree and Accreditation Planning
- New Healthcare Workforce Model
- Health Workforce Resiliency
