Direct Primary Care Is the Future of Health Care

When it comes to your health, removing the middleman makes a big difference.

Why?

Because the focus shifts away from “Does my health insurance plan cover this?” and “What is my copay?” to your health, which is where it should be.

Direct primary care removes the middleman. With its focus… learn more »

Premier Medical Center is feeling blessed.

Hi everyone, Lauren Gueriera, FNP, here. As some of you know, Premier Medical Center is a "Direct Primary Care" Practice, AKA "DPC". Four months ago I had no idea what DPC was. Now I am a big proponent of the DPC model, for MANY reasons. One of the reasons I became a nurse practitioner was because I love to provide care for people and help them get healthier. This requires TIME. Time is very limited in traditional health care practices. But as a DPC provider, I have TIME to spend with my patients. And my patients do not feel rushed. I am extremely grateful for the time I have with my patients at Premier Medical Center. Here is a good video about Direct Primary Care. I hope you will take the time to watch it! And spread the word!

Premier Medical Center is feeling surprised.

If you felt like your world was rocking early this morning, you were right! As you probably already know, two earthquakes hit the Glenwood Springs area between 3 and 4:30 am. Here are some good tips from the USGS about what to do during an earthquake. And the video... well let's face it. It is just really cute. Happy Tuesday everyone!

What should I do DURING an earthquake?
If you are INDOORS--STAY THERE! Get under a desk or table and hang on to it (Drop, Cover, and Hold on!) or move into a hallway or against an inside wall. STAY CLEAR of windows, fireplaces, and heavy furniture or appliances. GET OUT of the kitchen, which is a dangerous place (things can fall on you). DON'T run downstairs or rush outside while the bldg is shaking or while there is danger of falling and hurting yourself or being hit by falling glass or debris.
If you are OUTSIDE--get into the OPEN, away from buildings, power lines, chimneys, and anything else that might fall on you.
If you are DRIVING--stop, but carefully. Move your car as far out of traffic as possible. DO NOT stop on or under a bridge or overpass or under trees, light posts, power lines, or signs. STAY INSIDE your car until the shaking stops. When you RESUME driving, watch for breaks in the pavement, fallen rocks, and bumps in the road at bridge approaches.
If you are in a MOUNTAINOUS AREA--watch out for falling rock, landslides, trees, and other debris that could be loosened by quakes.
If you are near the OCEAN--see these safety rules from NOAA's Tsunami Warning Center.

A PRESCRIPTION FOR ALL: "good whole food, daily sweaty exercise, and plenty of replenishing sleep"
I had an interesting conversation with a friend recently about this great natural herb he has been using, "Kratom".
The scientific data and adverse event reports have "clearly revealed" that compounds in kratom make it "not just a plant — it's an opioid," . Additionally, it has been found to contain heavy metals in dangerous levels.
Claiming that Kratom is benign because it's 'just a plant' is misguided if not short-sighted and dangerous. I am a great fan of "natural," "holistic," and "herbal" remedies, treatments and approaches. Nonetheless, in the wrong preparation or amounts, they too can become poisonous.
Let's stick with good whole food, daily sweaty exercise, and plenty of replenishing sleep!! ... See MoreSee Less
