The DPC Innovation Awards are Back for 2026

The Direct Primary Care movement continues to grow, and so does the impact of the people building it. To celebrate this momentum, Hint is excited to announce that the DPC Innovation Awards are returning for 2026, with winners to be recognized live at Hint Summit 2026.

The DPC Innovation Awards exist to celebrate the organizations and individuals who are pushing direct care forward in meaningful, real-world ways. These awards shine a spotlight on innovation that improves access, affordability, and outcomes – not in theory, but in practice.

Who Can Be Nominated

Nominations are open to a wide range of contributors across the direct care ecosystem, including:

  • Direct primary care practices
  • Employers offering or supporting DPC
  • Brokers and consultants
  • Technology vendors and partners supporting DPC growth
