The Bitterroot Star announced the opening of True North Direct Primary Care. Pictured above are Robert Hart, DO, the president and physician of True North and Wendy Hansen, RN, the chief operations officer. Together they offer low-cost, patient-driven healthcare to patients in the Hamilton, MT area. Dr. Hamilton sums his reasons for starting True North DPC.

I entered private practice when I could no longer stand by and be complicit with the current healthcare industrial complex. I have a moral and ethical obligation to put my patient’s needs first and prioritize their care. I love working for my patients on their behalf as their advocate.

Transformative Health, a separate service offered by True North, is one that takes a holistic approach to healthcare by focusing on multiple aspects of human health, including nutrition, life coaching and counseling, functional training, pain reduction and injury prevention. True North has employed a team of professionals to help clients reform their lives by tackling issues such as obesity and chronic conditions with notable results.
