The Washington Post came out with an interesting article today entitled Can a subscription model fix primary care in the U.S.? Hooray!

Unfortunately, the writer of this piece only focused on corporations trying to hijack the DPC movement. He mentions:
- One Medical
- Walk-in Clinics at Target and CVS
- Premise Health
- Eden Health
- Forward Health

Get in touch with the ones on the front line who truly put their own skin in the game. You are missing the grassroots movement that actually CAN fix primary care.

Contact us and we will put you in touch with anyone you want.
