Flint’s First Direct Primary Care Clinic Opening in January
Flint Native and Family Doctor Steps Outside of the Health System to Improve Health Access
FLINT, MICHIGAN: Harris Family Health, Flint’s first direct primary care clinic is opening in Downtown Flint in January 2023. It is membership-based primary care clinic started by Flint native, Dr Aisha Harris MD, and offers members more time and access to their doctor so they can prioritize their health and get the care they deserve with no surprise bills. Harris Family Health’s Grand Opening will be on Tuesday, January 10, 2023 from 4p to 6pm at the Northbank Center, 432 N Saginaw St, Suite 401A, Flint, MI 48502.
After years of experience in the traditional health system Dr Harris decided she wanted to provide an innovative and affordable way to access primary care and decrease the hassle and barriers to quality health care. Harris Family Health is an affordable membership based primary care service that does not involve health insurance and provides comprehensive care starting at only $60 a month for adults, plus access to discounted wholesale prices for labs and medications to save patients money. Harris Family Health is a great alternative for the community, especially those with no insurance, high deductible health plans, or small businesses that want to provide health benefits to employees.
Dr Aisha Harris is a board certified Family Medicine doctor from Flint whose goal is to improve health access and outcomes in the Flint and Genesee County community. She wants to “be a resource for the community and provide people with an alternative to the frustrating health system”. She came back home to Flint in 2020 after her training in Chicago, IL at the University of Illinois and medical school in Washington, DC at Georgetown University.
Health care is becoming less accessible for many residents of Flint and Genesee County with 60% of Genesee County residents reporting difficulty getting appointments. Additionally, the high cost of medical care is pricing people out with 1 in 2 people worrying about their deductible and 1 in 4 people not picking up medications because of cost. Overall, medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy in the United States and each year more and more people opt to avoid the health system and not address health problems because of concern for medical debt, poor health access, or lack of trust in the health system. Patients can enroll today by visiting harrisfamilyhealth.com and all are welcome to come to the Grand Opening in January.
