The Podcast by KevinMD

Join us for an insightful discussion on the current state of primary care in hospitals and the emergence of direct primary care (DPC) as a transformative solution. Our guest, Christopher Habig, co-founder and CEO of Freedom Healthworks, shares his expertise on why hospital-employed practices are bleeding money, the lack of transparency in pricing and referrals, and the challenges faced by rural hospitals. Discover how DPC offers a lifeline for hospitals, promotes financial sustainability, restores patient trust, and ensures access to quality health care in underserved communities.
