Rent at Mid-South DPC is 800 dollars a month for 1,250 square feet that used to be a donut drive through, then a tanning salon, then a children's boutique. Dr. Ashlee Hendry's husband did the build out in the evenings while she worked out her 30 day notice. She passed 200 patients four months after opening, and every piece of art on the walls is hers.

Dr. Christina Doll spent 30 consecutive weeks of pregnancy on continuous IV fluids from a backpack, then got the lockdown alert in the parking lot after her six week postpartum checkup. She won a $10,000 Amber Grant, built her logo in Canva, and opened Revival Direct Primary Care in September 2021. Days later Hurricane Ida flooded the office. She switched to home visits and lost nobody.

A 10 mile non-compete stopped Dr. Christa Springston from even making house calls from her own home, so she took a protractor to the map and opened Health Springs Direct at 10.02 miles. She works out of one 12 by 17 foot room in an executive suite outside Atlanta, and folds FAA flight physicals for airline pilots into the membership.
