Oklahoma's physician shortage. The moral injury breaking doctors in the traditional system. And what the new HSA rule change means for Oklahomans who have never had access to this kind of care.
One line that says everything:
"There's a difference between caring for a patient and a patient being a statistic on a panel."

April 6-12 is National Public Health Week!
Healthy communities start with access to care, regardless of whether you're insured or uninsured. We believe every Oklahoman deserves personal healthcare with zero co-pays.
Did you know Oklahoma businesses can save 20–46% per employee on healthcare costs by switching to Direct Primary Care?
From predictable monthly membership costs and fewer ER/urgent care visits to stronger relationships with a primary care provider, DPC is helping employers protect their budgets and support a healthier workforce.
What does it actually take to grow a Direct Primary Care practice from two doctors and a dream to 11 locations and nearly 30 providers across Oklahoma? 💙
Dr. Kyle Rickner, co-founder and Chairman of Primary Health Partners, recently sat down with Jakub Grajcar from Talkie AI to share the full story.
From walking away from the fee-for-service model to navigating the very real operational challenges of multi-site growth, this conversation covers the ground that most healthcare leaders don't talk about publicly.
Here's a glimpse of what they got into:
🏥 The three core tenets of Direct Primary Care
🔥 The difference between burnout and moral injury and why the volume-based model puts physicians in direct conflict with their own oath
🤝 How PHP went from two doctors to 11 locations and the business partners who made it possible
⚠️ Why the third location is always the hardest and the stacking complexity that breaks practices trying to scale
🧑💼 What to look for in a great operator and why so many physicians never think to ask
If you're a physician considering DPC, a healthcare entrepreneur, or just curious about what it looks like to build something meaningful from scratch, this one is worth your time.
ACL tears account for nearly 15% of injuries in teen athletes. With year-round sports becoming the norm, that number isn't going down on its own. 💙
Dr. Melinda Cail at Primary Health Partners joined KFOR's Health Check this week to talk about one of the most common — and most impactful — knee injuries affecting young athletes today.
Here's what every parent and athlete should know:
🦵 Know the signs — an ACL tear often comes with a sudden "pop" followed by swelling. If that happens, don't wait to get it checked.
🏥 Recovery takes time — surgery is often part of the equation, but the real work is in the rehab. A full recovery requires significant retraining and rebuilding — and patience is part of the process.
💪 Prevention starts in the gym — Dr. Cail's top advice: focus on your hamstrings and glutes. Training how you jump and land, incorporating strength training year-round, and never skipping your warm-up and cool-down can make a meaningful difference in keeping athletes healthy and on the field.
With year-round sports keeping kids active in every season, off-season strength training isn't optional, it's essential.
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — On Thursday’s Health Check, we’re taking a closer look at a common knee injury — ACL tears. ACL tears account for almost 15% of injuries in teen athletes. Dr. Mel…

Are you on hormone replacement therapy — but not getting the results you expected? 💙
Brain fog that won't lift. Low energy. Low drive. Side effects that weren't part of the plan. If any of that sounds familiar, it may be time for a second opinion from a physician who has the time to look at the whole picture.
At Primary Health Partners, your provider doesn't just manage your hormone therapy — they assess everything. Because HRT is often only part of the equation, and real results come when your doctor understands your full health story.
And here's what most patients don't know: with a PHP membership, you can get hormone replacement therapy for likely less than what you're currently paying for HRT alone — plus unlimited access to primary care, same-day or next-day visits, and a provider who actually knows you.
If your current HRT isn't working the way it should, let's talk. 💙

Primary Health Partners is a direct primary care medical practice focusing on cost-effective healthcare for individual patients and employer-sponsored health plans in the Oklahoma City metro.
With locations in Yukon and Edmond, Primary Health Partners provides extraordinary primary care service to patients to ensure improved health outcomes while lowering overall plan cost. Instead of going through insurance and charging co-pays, Primary Health Partners charges patients a monthly fee that covers all visits, preventive screenings, and other services. Prescriptions, labs, and more advanced tests are offered to patients at a discounted rate.
Although this is not a replacement for health insurance, direct primary care provides a true alternative to patients who do not want (or can’t afford) to pay high insurance premiums every month.
One of the biggest reasons patients opt for the direct primary care model is because it allows doctors to have a smaller patient base so they are able to form relationships with their patients. Each patient has a personal physician that they can contact anytime by several methods like text, email, and we**am. They are literally available at any time including after hours, holidays, and weekends.
Primary Health Partners is currently accepting new patients. Please visit http://primary-healthpartners.com to learn more and schedule a free consultation today.
