About rootsMD | Health + Care that feels like Home
Healthcare back to its roots: Patients + Physicians
The Direct Primary Care (DPC) model improves quality of care and health outcomes while lowering costs to patients by separating primary care services from traditional insurance. Over the last decade, physicians across the nation have witnessed the sacred house of medicine slowly crumble down as administrative burdens rise and time to connect with, and care for, patients dwindles. These changes negatively impact patients’ pocketbooks – and – the health and wellbeing of both patients and physicians. In the current system most people receive healthcare benefits through their employer, sometimes preventing them from pursuing their passions or own entrepreneurial paths, or keeping them in jobs out of fear of “losing” their doctor due to a career or insurance change. It’s time to rebuild medicine. In addition to our mission to improve health + care for the greater Madison, WI area, we sought to bring new life to an old property in disrepair along Verona’s main street. Find us in our newly constructed clinic!
