Exciting Updates to Transform Healthcare
Discover Why Direct Primary Care Is the Answer
Join us on Wednesday, May 28th in Allentown for a powerful and historic event—the first-ever Direct Primary Care (DPC) conference in the Lehigh Valley, created specifically to help our local small businesses learn how to provide affordable, accessible, and high quality healthcare coverage for their employees. Dr. Chaminie Wheeler will be one of four speakers at the event.
This is more than a trend—DPC is a return to relationship-based medicine that restores trust, improves outcomes, and dramatically cuts costs.
A FREE Opportunity to Be Part of the Solution
Take advantage of this free event to learn how your business can be part of the solution to transform healthcare—for your employees, your company, and your community.

The DPC movement is growing rapidly:
➡ When our practice opened just two years ago, there were roughly 2,000 DPC practices in the country.
➡ Today, there are over 2,600— nearly 30% growth in just two years.
Why Employers Are Turning to DPC:
“Because physicians have time to educate and follow up, fewer medications are prescribed.”
“Emergency room visits decline when patients always have direct access to their doctor.”
“Less referrals and fewer unnecessary tests lead to significant cost savings."
“DPC returns primary care to its rightful role as the foundation of wellness.”
→ This translates to healthier employees, fewer sick days, and major savings.
Even Hospitals Are Paying Attention
This model is so effective that even hospital systems are trying to adopt it. Grand View Hospital in Sellersville, PA now offers a DPC-style membership as a benefit for their employees. It saves the hospital money while improving access to care. Click here for more information.
But here’s the catch:
Hospital-based DPC is not the same as truly independent DPC. In large health systems, administrative layers still govern how care is delivered. This means the physician-patient relationship may still be limited by rules, red tape, and third-party oversight— barriers that true DPC was designed to eliminate.
That’s why independent DPC practices remain the gold standard:
No billing through insurance
No corporate gatekeepers
Just transparent, direct care
Patient Perspective:
“Medical decisions are made based on what’s best for me, not what insurance covers.”
“24/7 access to my physician—phone, text, email.”
“Transparent pricing with no hidden fees.”
“Affordable medications and labs—right at the office.”
Physician Perspective:
“We get to practice medicine the right way—focused on patients, not paperwork.”
“Fewer patients means more time and better outcomes.”
“Passion for healing is restored in DPC.”
Insurance Perspective:
“Use insurance like car insurance—for accidents, not oil changes.”
“DPC fosters a free market with clear pricing and smarter use of insurance.”
“Care decisions are made by physicians, not dictated by diagnostic codes.”
Featured Speakers:
Dr. Chaminie Wheeler, Founder of CCC Health and local pediatrician-advocate for restoring the Physician-Patient Covenant of TRUST through Direct Primary Care
Dr. Kimberly Legg Corba, Founder of Green Hills Direct Family Care and a nationally recognized leader in the DPC movement
Kyle Curley, Vice President, Alliant Employee Benefits, offering insights on integrating DPC into employee benefit strategies
