Your healthcare used to be a pretty simple relationship between you and your physician. Then, many other players realized money could be made through complexity, regulation, and administrative overhead. Today, many physicians are working for the system because there are no alternatives.

At IPG we are building something different. We serve a community that wants to bring back the simplicity of a direct physician/patient relationship.

Who does your doctor work for? Do the agencies those doctors work for work for you?

At IPG our doctors work directly for you. No middle managers, no regional administration, no religious hierarchy... Healthcare simplified between a physician and a patient the way it should be.

IPG would like to congratulate our colleague Stephanie Dittmer M.D. for her recent recognition by the Humboldt-Del Norte County Medical Society for “outstanding contributions she continues to make on behalf of the Medical Society and physicians in Humboldt and Del Norte counties.”

“Given the amazing quality of physicians in Humboldt County, I am humbled and honored to be recognized in this manner.” Dittmer, responding to receipt of the honor added, “I find that our medical society gives us the opportunity to meet each other with a common goal of working through the challenges of being healers in this health care system.”

The Humboldt-Del Norte County Medical Society (HDNCMS), founded in 1886, is one of 38 local county medical societies of the California Medical Association, and is also affiliated with the nationwide American Medical Association (AMA). HDNCMS’ membership consists of over 200 physicians whose purpose is to “promote the science and art of medicine, the care and well-being of patients, the protection of the public health, and the interests of the medical profession.”

Way to go Stephanie!
