There has been much in the media lately regarding the role of our immune system’s response to COVID-19 and how this information may be useful. Our economy has taken a huge hit, and so it is understandable that people are looking for ways that we can all get back to work. We have seen our leaders discuss things like “immunity cards” as a way to “open up the economy,” yet many questions remain unanswered regarding how our bodies respond to COVID-19 infection now and what that means for the future.

At a time when our nation and the world face uncertainty and fear, we have also seen resiliency, innovation, and connection in our communities. How is it possible that individuals, businesses and neighborhoods have come together for the greater good, even while suffering, loss, and pain abound?

As a direct primary care (DPC) and concierge practice, we feel fortunate in these times to be able to continue to connect with our patients in a real and personal way. And, we are realizing that membership models for healthcare are uniquely positioned to help patients during times of crisis.

The world feels a bit like it’s on fire right now, and we’re all scrambling with how to manage our families, work, and other responsibilities in a situation with no playbook. It is not surprising if your mental health feels like it’s on the fritz.
