What is Direct Care

⚖️

🔑

Personal & Patient-Centered
Direct care is a return to medicine’s original purpose: truly caring for the patient. Its premise is remarkably simple yet very powerful: “Patient care is about caring for the patient — by a physician — without anyone standing in between.”

Relationship Over Transaction
Direct care values the bond between doctor and patient — not “provider” and “consumer.” Practices are intentionally small so that each doctor can truly know every child and their family, because clinical care and personal connection are inseparable.

Physician-Led Decisions
Care isn’t dictated by administrators or insurers. The doctor makes decisions, guided by medical expertise and the unique needs of each patient.

Restoring Trust & Access
Direct care brings back what modern healthcare often overlooks: trust, connection, and meaningful access. It honors the physician–patient relationship, recognizing that mutual trust is essential for healing and cannot be outsourced.

The Simple Truth
The secret of patient care is simple: caring for the patient — and it is best left in the hands of doctors.
