In this episode of the My DPC Story Podcast, host Dr. Maryal Concepcion interviews Dr. Kristine Martens, co-founder of Resurgent Health, the VERY FIRST Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinic in North Dakota. Dr. Martens shares her inspiring journey from traditional insurance-based practice to launching a trailblazing DPC clinic in Fargo with her business partner, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of being a DPC pioneer in her state. The conversation covers starting a business from scratch, navigating collaborative practice with Alyson Dahl, PA, building a patient-centered practice, staffing choices, and integrating unique services like OMT and aesthetics. Dr. Martens also discusses patient education, working with employer groups, and importance of community relationships. Whether you're a physician considering the DPC model or a patient seeking more personalized care, this episode offers invaluable insights into building sustainable, relationship-driven healthcare in underserved regions. Listen in for firsthand advice on overcoming fears, finding business partners, and rekindling the passion for medicine through Direct Primary Care.
