Flu Season Update

Do You Have an HMO?
04
Legislative update:  I met with State Representative Thomas Walsh and 5 DPC doctors, asking how we can support bill HD.1776.
 
This bill would allow DPC doctors to make referrals for people with HMOs (no back-up doctor needed!)
 
It would also allow doctors to dispense medication from our offices, at wholesale prices, saving you money!
 
next month I'll tell you how to support this bill!
We're relocating to Auburn
05
For those of you that didn't hear the news, our office is relocating to Auburn in the 4th week of April.  We ask for your patience during this very busy season of planning and blocking time for the move.   If you're due for a physical, we kindly ask that you aim for late April or early May, after our move.
 
Wishing you a healthy and happy month
