How to launch a thriving DPC clinic w/o getting overwhelmed

What if you could care for your patients without the red tape, billing codes, and burnout?

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a revolutionary shift away from the traditional insurance-based model. It’s about putting the patient-physician relationship back at the center – and giving clinicians the freedom to practice medicine on their own terms.

But as liberating as that sounds, launching a DPC clinic can feel overwhelming if you’re not sure where to start.

That’s why we created a step-by-step guide to help you build a sustainable, patient-focused clinic – from vision to launch. No fluff, no corporate jargon, just the essential steps that actually move you forward.

Here are a few quick tips to get you on your way:

1. Clarify Your Vision

Are you going solo or building a team? Urban or rural? Virtual or in-person? Knowing your goals will shape everything that follows.

2. Build a Lean Startup Plan

You don’t need an MBA to open a clinic—but you do need a plan. We’ll give you some pointers on how to keep it simple but strategic.

3. Choose the Right Setup and Tools
