Today, in the NSCHBC podcast, we're exploring a growing trend in healthcare that is changing the traditional physician-patient relationship: Concierge Medicine.
With physician burnout, declining reimbursement, increasing administrative burdens, and patients frustrated by rushed appointments and limited access to their doctors, concierge medicine is becoming an attractive alternative for some practices.

Today, our host Terry Fletcher will discuss the advantages, disadvantages, financial realities, and potential future of concierge medicine with her guest, fellow NSCHBC member Bob Wittenmore. Listen in for this timely topic
