Listen Later

A family doctor and an engineer do what government couldn't: provide amazing care to both rich AND poor. A bright spot lesson in grassroots healthcare reform 👍

In this episode we discuss bottom-up direct primary care Health 3.0 solutions that help people in poverty as well affluent individuals—using one group's revenue to help fund the other. Healing Grove Health Center was founded by Dr. Angela Bymaster (a family physician) and her husband Brett (an electrical engineer and entrepreneur) in the heart of one of the more impoverished zip codes in Silicon Valley. In this episode they talk about their faith-based Christian mission and advise on the logistics of how anyone can start a similarly innovative clinic. And check out this report they made on the deleterious effects of COVID-19 shutdowns on the poor.
