Something exciting is happening in Direct Primary Care.

According to Hint Health's latest DPC Trends Report, nearly 60% of active DPC memberships are now employer-funded – a big shift from just a few years ago.

This means that more employers are finally recognizing what our patients already know: that having accessible, relationship-based primary care can make a meaningful difference in employees' health and well-being.

We're excited to see DPC's growing part of the conversation around the future of healthcare and share what this shift means in our latest Vital Edge Health article:

As we celebrate our nation's 250th Independence day, we are contemplating freedom - the freedom to say what feels true, the freedom to make our own health choices without restrictions or coercion - and see that we are on the right track. In almost 12 years of practice, we have helped birth the Direct Primary Care movement, which is returning healthcare to the patient-doctor relationship - as it should be!

Here’s to greater freedom, better health, and care that truly supports your wellbeing.
Happy Fourth of July from the Siskiyou Vital Medicine team. Thank you for being part of the journey!

This Fourth of July, why not raise a glass to feeling good—during the celebration as well as the morning after?

Refreshing mocktails can be just as fun, delicious, and festive as cocktails, while keeping you hydrated through the summer heat.

Think:
• Fresh berries
• Citrus
• Sparkling water
• Mint
• Coconut water

Check out our healthy mocktail recipes on the blog (link in the comments) and stay cool this holiday weekend.

Happy and healthy 4th of July from all of us at Siskiyou Vital Medicine.

The importance of quality sleep is again proven in this article:

Scientists have discovered that your brain's ability to clean itself while you sleep predicts whether you'll develop Parkinson's or dementia years before symptoms begin.
