Hello 



Victories have been rolling in this year thanks to the supporters, large and small, that have fueled our efforts for more than 10 years. Now we need your help if you value our work.



Direct Primary Care - The membership model of medicine is now NATIONAL POLICY.



It was my honor to be invited by The White House to Charlotte, NC in September, and to be seated directly behind President Trump as he laid out his vision for returning health care back to American patients.  



In the press release from The White House, number 2 on the list of ENSURING BETTER CARE is "improve access to direct primary care arrangements that cut out the middleman and cut red tape to enable patients to spend more time with their doctors."  


Institutional Change - Years of showing up has made our Foundation's doctors the "go to" citizens for help in writing and reviewing draft legislation.




We have made dozens of trips to Washington, D.C. and State legislatures to teach and testify contributing to the expansion and protection of DPC across the land.



The Free Market - The third leg to our stool is growing the adoption of DPC by docs and showing the savings to patients and the marketplace - nationwide.



For years, facing hostility in the prior administration, we launched a ground game, focusing on local policy victories while at the same time, training physicians in our annual DPCconference.com to build a movement.



We have been promoting the adoption of DPC in business (a great employee perk that improves the owner's bottom line) - even helping small hospitals save millions! (Important video at https://youtu.be/b26Ej9LWYHE )



The platform and influence the Docs 4 Patient Care Foundation has today is borne of long fought battles, sacrifice of time and finances, and the ongoing donations of those with the vision to commit for the long, nation shaping, goals before us.



This has taken its toll and in the midst of our victory, we are struggling to meet the opportunities before us simply for a lack of financial fuel.



Please consider keeping us in the fight with a one time gift or even better - a monthly commitment that allows us to budget the year.
