🏥💡 There Is a Smarter Way to Manage Your Healthcare — Starting with Direct Primary Care 💸❤️

We’re not in the business of telling you what insurance to buy — but we are in the business of keeping you healthy, informed, and saving money wherever possible.

Here’s what you should know 👇

🚨 Health insurance premiums are rising fast — in some cases, we’re seeing Lansing families facing premium of $1,600/month plans with $8,000 deductibles through CoverME.gov.

Some of our patients are exploring non-ACA alternatives like Sedera, Zion HealthShare, or Christian Health Ministries — and reporting major savings on monthly costs.

While we don’t advise on insurance choices, we do offer the Direct Primary Care (DPC) model — a powerful solution that covers 80–90% of your everyday health needs for a low, predictable monthly rate.

✅ Unlimited visits
✅ Transparent pricing on labs, meds, imaging & more
✅ No billing codes, no hidden fees, just care when you need it

📣 We believe you deserve to know all your options — and to have a doctor who’s actually accessible.

If you’re rethinking how to afford healthcare in 2025, we’d love to show you how DPC can be the foundation that supports whatever coverage option you choose.

👉 Protect yourself:
✅ Floss daily
✅ See your dentist regularly
✅ Keep blood pressure & cholesterol under control

A simple daily habit may be one of the best ways to keep your heart strong! 💪
