Speak Up with Laurel Libby

Envisioning Patient-Centered Medicine

What happens when a doctor has time to actually know their patients?

Dr. Zev Myerowitz has spent over a decade in Maine’s healthcare policy debates. But his real argument is practical, built from years running one of New England’s largest integrative musculoskeletal practices.

In this conversation, Dr. Zev walks through the economics that broke primary care, why direct primary care clinics are opening across Maine faster than anyone predicted, and what happens when you flip the insurance-driven model on its head. He also explains the hidden mechanism behind Maine’s provider shortage, one most people don’t talk about.

You’ll also hear from two Family Nurse Practitioners and Direct Primary Care providers, Courtney Muldoon and Rachel Baillargeon from Live Life Family Practice, on what patient-centered care actually looks like for Mainers in Oxford County.

This is a conversation about healthcare policy that starts with a simple question: what if patients and providers were on the same side of the table??
