Agape Direct Primary Care

Today we are celebrating Kelsea’s 2 year work anniversary at Agape! She is a hard worker, anticipates needs, and her personable touch with patients comes from a genuine desire to care. We are lucky to have her on our team! Read below to learn a little more about Kelsea—or, better yet, become a member at Agape to experience her excellent care firsthand!

🍃Favorite way to unwind: Spending quality time with my daughter, Karleigh, is my favorite way to unwind. I also really enjoy traveling and discovering new places!

⏳ If I could have a superpower: Time travel! I’d love the chance to relive special moments, visit different eras, and sneak a peek at the future.

❤️ Why I chose Direct Primary Care: Truthfully, I didn’t choose DPC—Agape DPC chose me. This opportunity came through a mutual friend with the doctors, and I have no doubt it was God’s plan for me. After my interview, I felt a true calling to join the Agape team. I continue to choose Direct Primary Care because it allows me to provide truly personalized care. I love building meaningful relationships with patients, having the time to listen and support them, and making a real difference in their lives. Working alongside two of the most loving, compassionate, and family-oriented doctors has been such a blessing for my family as well.

It’s that time of year again! 🎒 Kids are back in school, sharing stories, supplies, and... germs. A sore throat is a common complaint we see this time of year. But what’s causing it? Here’s a quick guide to help you spot the differences between some common causes:

Allergies/Post-Nasal Drip:
* What to look for: A scratchy or itchy throat, often accompanied by sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, and itchy, watery eyes. A cough that worsens when lying down is also a common sign of post-nasal drip.
* Key difference: Usually, there’s no fever with allergies.

Strep Throat:
* What to look for: This one comes on fast and furious! Look for a sudden, severe sore throat, pain when swallowing, fever, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck. You might also see tiny red spots on the roof of the mouth or white patches on the tonsils.
* Key difference: Strep is a bacterial infection and requires antibiotics. A rapid strep test can confirm the diagnosis. There is also typically no cough associated with strep.

Mono (Infectious Mononucleosis):
* What to look for: Extreme fatigue is a hallmark of mono. Other symptoms include a severe sore throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes in the neck and armpits, and sometimes a skin rash.
* Key difference: Mono is caused by a virus (usually Epstein-Barr) and can last for several weeks. It’s often called “the kissing disease” because it’s spread through saliva.

As a direct primary care practice, we’re here to help you get to the bottom of your child’s sore throat. We offer same-day or next-day appointments and step tests are included with your membership, so you can get the answers and care you need, right when you need it. Call us today to learn more about our affordable, hassle-free healthcare!

Happy Valentines Day! We thought this was the perfect day to share our heart behind our name, Agape DPC.

Agape (pronounced uh-gah-pay) is an Ancient Greek word used in the New Testament to describe the highest form of love - God’s love. It’s a self sacrificing, devotional, and unconditional type of love.

It is our sincere hope that our patients experience a glimpse of this love with us at Agape DPC!

We would love to share more of our story and listen to yours. Contact us to set up a meet and greet with one of our physicians!
