I am passionate about helping employers and brokers help employees improve their health while reducing costs through Advanced and Direct Primary Care. The rising cost of healthcare has hit employers and employees hard. Employees have trouble accessing primary care physicians and turn to high-cost, low-value urgent care, or worse, ERs. There is no follow up and chronic conditions continue unchecked leading to missed work, specialist visits, and numerous claims.Primary Care by One Medical addresses the current challenges faced by employees in today's healthcare landscape. With same/next day appointments working in conjunction with integrated virtual care, employees have clinicians who treat not only an acute condition, but spend 25-30 minutes reviewing physical and mental health. Deferred care-physicals, annual tests & procedures are addressed. Practicing at the top of their license and able to manage chronic conditions including diabetes, blood pressure, high cholesterol and more, our clinicians help employees avoid specialists, urgent care and the ER. For employers, this proactive approach reduces time missed from work, provides a healthier work place, AND reduces costs. I have work for various health care entities in my life. From and ER X-ray tech, to Chief Therapist for a Radiation Oncology Center, to Humana as a licensed agent and now at One Medical, caring for people is at the core of who I am.
