Join us on June 13th in Bedford for an informative seminar on how investing in Advanced Primary Care, specifically our Delphi Enhanced Primary Care model, can revolutionize your approach to employee healthcare. With potential savings of 17-25% towards medical spend, it's a game-changer for employers and individuals alike. It's simple: when most care begins at the Primary Care level, managed by independent practices like ours (not hospital-owned), it sets the stage for personalized treatment plans, ample time with your doctor, and guidance towards cost-effective services beyond Primary Care. The result? Healthier, happier patients who spend less on healthcare. Whether you're an employer, broker, or simply seeking a superior Primary Care provider, this seminar is for you. Seats are limited and filling up fast, so RSVP today to secure your spot!
