"Our job isn't only to provide health care..."

"...but also to navigate healthcare," said Dr. Umair Malik of Blue Spruce Health, speaking at Wednesday's Coffee & Connections in Lyndon.

Blue Spruce Health first brought its Direct Primary Care model to Vermont's Northeast Kingdom just 5 years ago, but over the past two years, they've noticed a rise in interest from employers looking to work with them.


"We want to do this for Vermont," says Dr. Malik, "people in the Northeast are so hardworking, they don't need to deal with the hassle of insurance."


Through the Direct Primary Care model, Blue Spruce is able to offer its members—be they individuals or employees—a wide range of services and unlimited access to their medical team without the need for insurance.



Thank you to Dr. Malik for joining us at this month's Coffee & Connections in Lyndon. If you weren't able to attend this month, we recommend you learn more about all Blue Spruce Health can offer your team by visiting their website, bluespruce.care, and we hope to see you at the next one!

Join us the first Wednesday of each month in Lyndon, and now, the third Wednesday of each month in Newport (in partnership with VT's North Country Chamber of Commerce).

The group was joined in the morning by Vermont Futures Project's Executive Director, Kevin Chu, for a conversation on some of our state's biggest issues and how systemic challenges and existing state demographics amplify them. The afternoon included a guest panel that challenged our cohort to look at the NEK as whole and ask, where are we headed? What are the opportunities and challenges? And what role can leaders throughout the region play?
