Please join us for our next book club on May 14th at 6pm. We are excited to discuss the book, James, by Percival Evertt. This novel reimagines Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of the enslaved man, Jim, who is renamed James. Some of us are also re-reading the novel Huckleberry Finn, but this is not necessary to enjoy James. We are looking forward to the 14th!

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. As many of you are aware, our lovely phlebotomist, Erica, lost her husband to colon cancer in 2024. Let's honor Scott's memory by getting the word out to get screened STARTING AT AGE 45.
Overall diagnosis in younger adults has increased by nearly 15% since 2024. Don't put off your screening!

Love to see objective data illustrating what we have long speculated. DPC saves money!

Direct Primary Care (DPC) isn’t just a better experience, it delivers better outcomes at lower costs! The proof is in the pudding: patients who use DPC through Mending have a 36% better Medical Loss Ratio than traditional fee-for-service primary care. Investment in relationship-based care reduces total claims and saves money. That's the DPC difference. 💜
