About

The Society of Direct Care Medicine is a non-profit organization seeking to expand knowledge and research about health and wellness, supporting better medicine for patients and providers.

We are dedicated to strengthening optimal health, wellness, and preventative medicine by encouraging patient empowerment and direct care medical practices. We believe that the spirit of direct care - restoring the direct relationship between patients and doctors and returning focus on preventative care - can exist on many levels.

The Society is also an integral part of the Florida Research Partnership.

The Florida Research Partnership (FRP) is a joint effort between the non-profit Society of Direct Care Medicine and Direct Care Group, an industry leader in the concierge medicine/direct care market.

Each brings a unique perspective to the collaborative effort. Due to its independent, non-profit status, the Society brings pure, unencumbered research. DCG in turn provides real world operational experience and the resources necessary to disseminate the products of the partnership.
