Bringing Virtual Primary Care To the Masses in 2020 – Michael Farrell (MDLIVE)


Why is the number of U.S. adults who have a Primary Care Physician (PCP) declining, especially among younger generations? Is it Cost? Convenience? The way they prefer to receive their healthcare?

It could be any one of many reasons, but the facts are that 45% of 18- to 29-year-olds and nearly 30% of 30- to 40-year-olds don’t have a PCP.1 Yet, PCPs are key to preventive health and routine screenings that can reduce healthcare costs and save lives over the long term.
