All Things Healthcare with Stasha
The American citizen spends an average of $10,000 on health insurance every year*.
In many cases, that’s not only expensive. It’s also ineffective. There’s a big crisis in the traditional healthcare system** and it’s certainly impacting your own health. If you’re tired of paying more and more for less access to health professionals***, I know exactly how you feel.
Direct Primary Care is a comprehensive alternative for patients seeking respectful, attentive, and personalized health care. As a nurse practitioner, my focus is on pursuing the patient’s best interest rather than following mainstream protocols. In this blog, you’ll find updated analysis, insights, and practical tips to improve your health and well-being.
