This chapter looks at the role of primary health care in community health. Primary care, it argues, has built on its historical roots of holistic family-centered care to embrace the broader concept of population health. The chapter looks at the evolution of care models from patient/family-centered to panel management (the sum of patients being cared for by a primary care practice), to community health management. This broader concept of health necessitates collaboration with partners outside the clinical practice, including public health professionals, policymakers, schools, housing, parks and recreation, law enforcement, transportation, and food systems. The chapter describes the population and community framework and its historical role in the development of primary care, and then turns to the proposal of pragmatic approaches that busy primary care clinicians and care teams can use to integrate population health approaches into their practices.

Vulnerability Mitigation

Wildfire disasters are one of the many consequences of increasing wildfire activities globally, and much effort has been made to identify strategies and actions for reducing human vulnerability to wildfire. While many individual homeowners and communities have enacted such strategies, the number subjected to a subsequent wildfire is considerably lower. Furthermore, there has been limited documentation on how mitigation strategies impact wildfire outcomes across the socio-ecological spectrum. Here we present a case report documenting wildfire vulnerability mitigation strategies undertaken by the community of Montecito, California, and how such strategies addressed exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. We utilize geospatial data, recorded interviews, and program documentation to synthesize how those strategies subsequently impacted the advance of the 2017 Thomas Fire on the community of Montecito under extreme fire danger conditions. Despite the extreme wind conditions and interviewee estimates of potentially hundreds of homes being consumed, only seven primary residences were destroyed by the Thomas Fire, and firefighters indicated that pre-fire mitigation activities played a clear, central role in the outcomes observed. This supports prior findings that community partnerships between agencies and citizens are critical for identifying and implementing place-based solutions to reducing wildfire vulnerability.
