At Vibrance, we believe in providing you with high-quality, accessible, convenient, and affordable health care. That’s what Direct Primary Care is all about!
What is high-quality care?
Quality health care is important for everyone. Quality health care is:
Effective Care
Providing health care based on research and evidence that’s proven to be beneficial to your health.
Patient-centered Care
A partnership between the provider and you, the patient. Providing care that is respectful to your individual preferences, needs and values.
Safe Care
Avoiding harm from health care that is intended to be helpful.
Timely Care
Avoiding delays in care that could be harmful to your health.
Efficient Care
Avoiding waste and excess costs (such as supplies, treatments, etc.).
Equitable Care
Providing quality health care to all individuals no matter their gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. 1
Vibrance is committed to providing high-quality health care. We will partner with you to manage your health and help you live your healthiest life at every age.
What is accessible and convenient health care?
Yes, convenient health care really does exist! For instance, imagine handling a health care issue by texting your provider from work. Through technology such as text, email, video visits and phone calls, we make accessing health care easier. It’s all part of the DPC model.
