Primary & Preventive Care in Vancouver, WA — Vancouver Direct Primary Care
Your health is worth protecting before something goes wrong. Vancouver Direct Primary Care offers comprehensive primary and preventive care through a simple monthly membership — with a provider who actually knows you.
Primary & Preventive Care in Vancouver, WA — Vancouver Direct Primary Care
Primary and preventive care is the foundation of long-term health. At Vancouver Direct Primary Care, it is also the foundation of everything we do. Your membership gives you access to annual physicals, wellness exams, preventive screenings, routine primary care visits, and a provider who is available to you throughout the year — not just when you are sick.
Most people interact with the healthcare system only when something goes wrong. At VDPC, we believe that is the wrong approach. Preventive care means catching problems early, monitoring risk factors before they become conditions, and keeping you informed about your health in a way that actually leads to better decisions.
Our direct primary care model gives your provider the time to do all of that properly — without the constraints of insurance billing cycles or 10-minute appointment slots.
What Primary & Preventive Care Includes at VDPC
Annual Physical Exams
Comprehensive head-to-toe physical examinations, reviewed by a provider who knows your full health history and takes the time to discuss every finding with you.
Preventive Screenings
Age- and risk-appropriate screenings for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, thyroid conditions, and more — coordinated and explained by your primary care provider.
Ongoing Primary Care
Routine visits for new symptoms, medication management, follow-up care, and anything else your health requires throughout the year — all included in your membership.
A Provider Who Knows Your Full Picture
Preventive care is only as effective as the provider delivering it. At Vancouver Direct Primary Care, your provider reviews your complete health history, your family history, your lifestyle, and your personal goals before making any recommendations. That context matters — it is the difference between a screening that is appropriate for you and one that is not.
Because our patient panels are small, our providers have the capacity to be genuinely proactive about your health. We do not wait for you to come in with a problem. We help you stay ahead of one.

Why Preventive Care Requires Time — And Why DPC Provides It
The biggest barrier to effective preventive care is time. Traditional primary care practices, constrained by insurance billing requirements and large patient panels, often cannot give preventive visits the attention they deserve. A 10-minute annual physical cannot cover your full health history, discuss your risk factors meaningfully, and review your labs — not properly.
At Vancouver Direct Primary Care, your annual physical and preventive visits are built into a care relationship that spans the whole year. Your provider already knows your history. Your appointments are not rushed. And when something comes up between visits, you have direct access to your provider — not a phone tree.
Who Benefits Most From Preventive Primary Care?
Everyone benefits from preventive care — but it is especially valuable for adults with a family history of chronic conditions, those who have not had a primary care provider for several years, adults managing multiple health concerns, and anyone who wants a clear picture of where their health stands.
At VDPC, we see patients who have been avoiding the doctor for years and patients who have always been proactive. Either way, we meet you where you are and help you move forward.

FAQs About Primary & Preventive Care at VDPC
Are physicals and preventive visits included in my membership?
Yes. Annual physicals, wellness exams, and preventive care visits are included in your Vancouver Direct Primary Care membership. There are no per-visit fees for these services.
How often should I get a physical?
Most adults benefit from an annual physical, though your provider may recommend more or less frequent check-ins depending on your age, health history, and risk factors. Your provider will help you determine the right schedule for your situation.
What screenings are appropriate for me?
Screening recommendations vary based on age, sex, family history, and individual risk factors. Your VDPC provider will review your complete picture and recommend screenings that are actually appropriate for you — not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Can I use insurance for preventive care at VDPC?
Vancouver Direct Primary Care does not bill insurance. Your membership covers preventive care at no additional per-visit cost. If you have insurance, you may be able to use it for specialist referrals or services outside of primary care.
We Want You to Feel Better
A lot of people put off preventive care because it feels like one more thing to schedule. We understand. But preventive care is not about finding problems — it is about knowing where you stand and making informed decisions about your health going forward.
Many of our patients tell us their VDPC physical was the first time they felt like a provider actually listened. That is what we are here for.
We want you to feel better, stay healthier, and live with more confidence in your body. Let us help you get there.
