Think about the small businesses that make our communities special. The family-owned restaurant where everybody knows your order. The mechanic you trust with your car. The local shopkeeper who remembers your name. The hardworking people who keep our homes, offices, and neighborhoods running.

Behind every one of these businesses are people. People who work hard, take pride in what they do, and contribute to the places we call home. At Southern Direct Primary Care, we believe those people deserve good healthcare, too. That's why we're excited to introduce our Small Business Employee Memberships, offering local employers an affordable way to invest in the health and well-being of the people who help their businesses thrive. 

Big Benefits for Small Businesses

If you're a small business owner, you already know that taking care of your employees matters. You also know that providing healthcare benefits can be expensive, complicated, and sometimes simply out of reach. Traditional health insurance isn't always a practical option for a small business. And even when employees have insurance, that doesn't necessarily mean they have convenient access to a healthcare provider. A sick employee may wait days or weeks for an appointment. Someone managing an ongoing health condition may struggle to find time for follow-up care. And sometimes, a seemingly minor concern becomes a bigger problem because getting an appointment felt like too much trouble.

We believe there's a better way.

Direct Primary Care (DPC) removes many of the traditional barriers between patients and their healthcare provider. Instead of navigating insurance requirements for routine primary care, members pay a predictable monthly fee for direct access to a provider who knows them, listens to them, and has time for them.

It's a different approach to healthcare, but in many ways, it's a return to something wonderfully familiar: a relationship with your healthcare provider.

What Does an Employee Membership Include?

Our employee members enjoy the same relationship-centered approach to healthcare that our Southern DPC patients have come to know and appreciate.

That includes:

· Direct communication with a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner by phone or text

· Prompt appointment scheduling when health concerns arise

· Care for common illnesses and minor injuries

· Ongoing management of chronic conditions

· Preventive care, wellness visits, and support for long-term health

Imagine an employee being able to reach out to a trusted healthcare provider when a concern arises, rather than postponing care because of the cost, inconvenience, or uncertainty of getting an appointment. For employees, that kind of access offers reassurance and peace of mind. For employers, it offers another meaningful way to care for the people who make their businesses possible. And when employees have better access to care, businesses may benefit from fewer missed workdays, healthier teams, and employees who feel valued.

Affordable, Predictable Pricing

We've made our employer membership pricing straightforward.

For businesses enrolling five or more adults, our employer membership rate is:

$65 per adult, per month

$35 per child, per month for children added to the membership.

For an employer enrolling five adults, that's $325 per month to provide each of those employees with direct access to relationship-based primary care.

No complicated insurance claims for covered primary care services. No guessing what a routine office visit might cost. Just a predictable monthly membership that helps connect employees with the care they need. It's important to understand that Direct Primary Care is not health insurance and does not replace the need for coverage or financial protection for hospitalizations, surgeries, specialists, and other medical expenses outside the membership. Instead, it offers something that even many insured patients struggle to find: convenient, personal access to everyday primary care.

A Healthy Community Begins With Healthy People

One of the things we love most about living and working in a small community is how connected we all are.The people who own our local businesses are also our neighbors. Their employees are our friends, our family members, the people we see at church, at the grocery store, and at Friday night football games.

When a small business succeeds, our community benefits. And when the people working in those businesses are healthier and better supported, everyone stands to gain. We don't believe meaningful employee benefits should be reserved for large corporations with big budgets and human resources departments. Sometimes the most meaningful investment a business owner can make is simply giving employees better access to someone who will listen, answer their questions, and help them stay well.


Help Us Spread the Word!

Perhaps you own a small business and have wondered whether there's an affordable way to offer your employees healthcare benefits. Perhaps you work for a small business whose owner would love to do more for the team but hasn't found the right solution. Or perhaps you know a hardworking local business owner who would appreciate hearing about something like this. We would be grateful if you'd help us make the introduction.

We're proud to be a locally owned small business ourselves, and we understand how much relationships matter. We'd welcome the opportunity to visit with fellow business owners, answer their questions, and explore whether Southern DPC could be a good fit for their employees. You don't have to know all the details. That's our job! Sometimes all it takes is one neighbor telling another about something worth looking into.
