Direct Primary Care

Whole Family is a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice, wholly owned by Dr. Eleanor Host, MD.

​

DPC is not a franchise or a national medical organization or HMO. DPC is a way for you to improve your wellness and attend to illness and injury with greater efficiency, confidence, and financial security. 

​

As a DPC medical practice, Whole Family Medical Care does not accept insurance plans on behalf of our patients. 

​

Your annual patient membership entitles you to the kind of doctor/patient relationship that insurance plans most often reject. Whole Family member-patients see these advantages from our practice:

​

• Same-day appointments

• As many as 99 office visits per year

• Visits with Dr. Host that can last about 45 minutes if needed, instead of the usually-mandated 15 minutes.

• Appointments for the entire family in one visit. 

• Treatment options such as massage, acupuncture, therapy, and weight loss groups.

• Generic prescription purchases from satellite office at cost or near cost

• Reduced-price lab tests

​

Whole Family patients have found that DPC is the way to better personal and family healthcare. Find out more from the links on this page and elsewhere at our website.
