About the Pangea DirectCare™ DPC Practice Launch Summit
Primary care is at a breaking point. Rising administrative burden, declining reimbursement, and physician burnout are forcing clinicians to rethink how care is delivered. At the same time, patients and employers are demanding better access, transparency, and outcomes at a lower cost. Direct Primary Care (DPC) has emerged as one of the most powerful, physician-led solutions to transform healthcare delivery while restoring the joy of practicing medicine.
The Pangea DirectCare™ DPC Practice Launch Summit is designed to equip physicians with the knowledge, tools, and real-world step-by-step insights needed to successfully launch and expand a Direct Primary Care practice. This Summit brings together experienced DPC physicians, healthcare innovators, and operational experts to share proven strategies, best practices, and lessons learned from the front lines of the DPC movement.
Digital Platform & Implementation Support
All participants will be introduced to Pangea DirectCare™ LaunchPad and PracticeOS—a purpose-built digital platform designed to simplify the launch, implementation, and ongoing operation of a Direct Primary Care practice. These technology resources provide physicians with essential tools, integrated vendor relationships, and a robust pipeline of new patients sourced through the Pangea Wellness employer ecosystem— everything needed to operate a successful, scalable DPC practice.
The platform also includes a collaborative physician community where members can connect, share insights, and accelerate their journey toward building a sustainable, independent Direct Primary Care practice.
PCPs Should Open A DPC
1
Burnout Reduction & Work-Life Balance
Fewer patients per day, reduced documentation burden, and no insurance-driven bureaucracy.
2
More Autonomy & Better Patient Care
No insurance billing, longer visits (30–60 minutes), smaller patient panels, and decisions driven by clinical judgment.
3
Predictable, Recurring Revenue
Dramatically lower billing and administrative costs, fewer denied claims, and increased income potential.
4
Diversification Without Risk
Launch a new DPC or operate in parallel, hedging against declining fee-for-service reimbursement.

Alignment with the Future
Integrates with wellness, prevention, and population health—the ideal foundation for employer solutions.
The Summit Agenda
You're Not Broken — The System Is
We start where doctors actually are:
Burnout
Loss of autonomy
The Hamster Wheel
The quiet frustration of practicing medicine the "right" way in the wrong system
The Economic Truth (Without the Hype)
You'll see:
Simple, credible DPC math
Capacity-based economics
What real income replacement looks like
Why lifestyle and medicine don't have to be at odds
No spreadsheets designed to impress. Just reality.
Certainty — The Missing Piece
We show you:
Exactly what happens in your first 30 / 60 / 90 days of DPC
What decisions matter — and which don't
Who does what
Where support exists
Where you are not alone
Social Proof (Real Doctors, Real Stories)
You'll hear from physicians who:
Were scared too
Thought they were "late" to DPC
Didn't think it could work for *their* situation
What surprised them.
What they'd do differently.
Where they are now.
The Invitation
What's Been Systematized For You:
Practice launch sequencing
Operational setup
Technology and workflow
Patient acquisition solutions
Ongoing operational efficiencies
So you're not:
Guessing
Piecing vendors together
Guessing where your next patients are coming from
Reinventing the wheel
Carrying the burden alone
STRATEGIC PARTNERS
CONNECTING WITH THE LEADERS OF INDEPENDENT PRIMARY CARE
