Plum Health Believes Health Care Should Be Affordable For Everyone

At Plum Health, we believe that health care should be affordable and accessible for everyone.

Plum Health provides excellent health care services. We focus on prevention and wellness. We want to partner with you to create better health outcomes by providing compassionate service in a timely manner.

 

 

Dr. Paul Thomas from Plum Health - Our practice is Plum Health and we deliver affordable and accessible health care in Detroit. We use a membership model for health care.

 

What is Direct Primary Care?

Direct Primary Care allows you to have a direct relationship with your doctor.
Mayor of Detroit Mike Duggan - You may have highly paid executives and athletes in here, and you're gonna have folks that don't have any place else to go and I can tell these two doctors here are gonna treat everyone with the same care.

For the equivalent of a monthly cell phone bill, you can receive direct, primary health care services that are tailored to your individual needs. From your annual check-up to urgent care needs to general questions about staying healthy, Direct Primary Care offers you access to care across a spectrum of needs.
