National Doctors’ Day was earlier this week.

Today is April Fools’ Day.

For many physicians, the two feel interchangeable.

A system that celebrates doctors—while simultaneously making it harder to practice medicine well.

Direct Primary Care didn’t emerge as a trend. It emerged as a response.

To those who saw the joke for what it was and chose a different path:

We see you and support you.

I'm passionate about the value that Hope Family Medicine can bring to small businesses, freelancers, independent contractors, and otherwise self-employed rockstars in our community! Change is in the air and a DPC membership, paired with a tailored insurance or a cost share is an excellent way to provide comprehensive health care for self-employed or small business owners, their families, and their employees.

Want to know how? I'd love to chat with you to share more!

Check out this piece from our colleagues and friends at Atlas DPC in Wichita. Hits home for me!

The American healthcare system was built around a simple assumption: most people get their insurance through their employer.

Another tough match day for Family Medicine last week. Even more FM training positions went unfilled, 899 this time, the worst of any specialty.

In the past five years, 3,400 family medicine training positions went unfilled in the match. That's more missing family docs than those of us who've stayed in primary care by switching to DPC (about 2700).

Medical students are voting with their feet.

For years, Direct Primary Care (DPC) has been described as a quiet revolution. We’ve felt it in our clinics—the extra 30 minutes spent with a complex diabetic patient, the ease of a quick text chec…

As I reflect on this past year, I’m once again overwhelmed with gratitude. I am so thankful that I had the courage 5 1/2 years ago to create Hope Family Medicine. It has allowed me not only to care for patients the way they truly deserve, but also to give my family the priority they deserve as well.

The healthcare landscape in the US continues to grow more tumultuous, but we are committed to ensuring that my patients continue to receive excellent care. We have been working on some big, exciting things for this coming year and if you’ve been yearning for a stable, accessible medical home where you are truly cared for I invite you to join us.
