A caravel is a small, highly maneuverable sailing ship used to explore new waters in the 15th and 16th centuries. Caravel Health is a small, highly maneuverable medical group exploring a new way to provide health care – Direct Primary Care – and they hope to help patients discover authentic family medicine, the kind of family medicine where genuine relationships help catalyze healing. What a fitting name for a DPC practice and a great new vocabulary word to learn!

Pictured above is Landen Green, DO, the founder and physician at Caravel Health DPC. Pictured with him is his wife Salma Green, who is a full-time urgent care physician and Caravel Health members may see her friendly face occasionally in the office. Lastly, their dogs Ellie and Kemba round out the team.

At Caravel Health, Dr. Green is eager to provide an authentic family medicine experience for his patients.

I love having the time to get to know my members as more than just a patient. Freeing our members from the current trend of poor access, long waits, short visits, and surprise bills makes for a simple, happy relationship between my members and I. That relationship helps me provide personal care that fits with the unique lifestyle of each member. 

In his free time, Dr. Green enjoys playing basketball and golfing with his wife. He grew up around water and enjoys being out on the lake, especially if there is an opportunity for outdoor grilling. He also enjoys reading non-fiction and fiction, stand up comedy and spending time with both his North Carolina and California families.

A marketing technique from the Caravel Health website that may be helpful to use for patients thinking about joining your DPC practice is to provide benefit scenarios. Real life stories are powerful examples that people easily relate to and remember.

Congratulations to Dr. Green. We look forward to hearing updates in the future!
