Hint Health's annual Direct Primary Care conference showcases record employer adoption trends and sets stage for 10th anniversary event in Nashville

Hint Health, the leading digital health company advancing the growth and success of the Direct Primary Care (DPC) movement, announced the successful conclusion of its 9th annual Hint Summit, held in conjunction with Health Rosetta's RosettaFest in Denver, CO. This event set the stage for its milestone 10th anniversary event in Nashville, TN, where Direct Primary Care will take center stage.

The two-day gathering convened hundreds of DPC physicians, healthcare leaders, benefits advisors, and employers to share strategies for advancing patient-centered care. This year's Summit underscored the increasing adoption of DPC as a mainstream solution for enhancing access, affordability, and outcomes in healthcare, highlighting the release of the 2025 Employer Trends in Direct Primary Care Report.

Drawing on data from more than 2,000 clinicians and 1.2 million members nationwide, the report marks a record milestone, with 58% of DPC memberships now sponsored by employers, confirming DPC's emergence as a proven benefit strategy for organizations seeking sustainable, high-quality healthcare for their workforce.

"Direct Primary Care has evolved from a grassroots alternative to a proven model embraced by employers, physicians, and patients alike," said Zak Holdsworth, CEO and Co-Founder of Hint Health. "Hint Summit 2025 showcased the depth of innovation within the DPC community and the critical role it plays in transforming healthcare delivery."
