PatriotDirect × Hint Health Partnership
Empowering Direct Primary Care Providers with the Future of Functional Medicine
The New Standard for Direct Primary Care
Direct Primary Care (DPC) has redefined what it means to practice medicine — restoring autonomy, strengthening patient relationships, and simplifying practice operations.
PatriotDirect and Hint Health share a common vision: empowering clinicians to deliver personalized, preventive care through sustainable practice models. This partnership highlights how Functional Medicine education and DPC infrastructure naturally complement each other — combining Hint’s leadership in membership management with PatriotDirect’s evidence-based approach to metabolic and bioenergetic health.
