Michelle Cooke, MD Gets Major Media Attention in Atlanta

Posted on by

I want to highlight another one of our contributors here at DPCN. Michelle Cooke, MD was given the spotlight int the Atlanta Voice. The article is called Sol Direct Primary Care: A welcoming medical home for patients and I recommend you check it out.

Cooke’s journey in healthcare has been shaped by significant changes in the healthcare system,” What I hear nowadays, especially for black patients, is ‘no one is listening to us, and that could cost me my life’, and they’re right,” Cooke told The Atlanta Voice. Despite these challenges, Cooke remains dedicated to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care through her practice at Sol, “Think about our black mortality rate because people aren’t listening to what people are experiencing.  When people come here, they know that Cooke listens to them. She understands what my issues are, and she’s got my back”.

Great job, Dr. Cooke!!
