Happy New Year and welcome to the January edition of the Maple Health newsletter. As we take this time of year to evaluate goals, priorities and reflect on the prior year, we ask that you include your health and wellness in your reflections. If you haven't put your annual physical on the calendar yet for 2026, now is a great time to do so before you forget. And if we didn't see you last year, no judgement, but don't make it two years missed. And when you come in, tell us where you're looking to improve your health this year and let us be a part of your journey. We believe in you! Thank you for trusting us with your care. Here’s to a month of growth and new opportunities.

Dr. Berry was recently on an episode of Healthcare Forward with Michael Schroeder. They discussed how Direct Primary Care (DPC) is reshaping the patient-provider relationship and what it means for employers.
DPC replaces the traditional fee-for-service model with a membership-based approach that prioritizes access, time, and proactive care. The result is a better experience for patients and a smarter strategy for employers.
You’ll hear:
• What makes Direct Primary Care different from traditional primary care
• How the DPC model improves access, communication, and continuity of care
• Why employers are increasingly integrating DPC into self-funded health strategies
• How DPC supports cost containment while improving employee engagement
When employees can actually see their doctor, ask questions, and get timely care, better outcomes follow.
Listen to the full episode of Healthcare Forward on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts.
