The Meyers Primary Care Institute was established in 1996 as a joint venture of Fallon Clinic, Fallon Community Health Plan, and the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Our mission is to promote primary care practice through innovative research and educational initiatives. The Institute honors the memory of Dr. John Meyers who served as President of Fallon Clinic from 1966-1982 and President of Fallon Community Health Plan from 1976-1985. He was also an esteemed member of the faculty of the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
