Would you join a medical cooperative like this one? Have you or anyone you know received medical care through a cooperative like PPC? What was that experience?
Founder Don McCormick made a decision in 1995 to leave his very successful career as an insurance company executive “sell everything I owned and help people who were not insured and not getting healthcare benefits. If you are not doing that, then life is pointless.” Please share your reaction and thoughts about that statement.

PPC data scientist Fred Trotter talks about PPC genuinely putting the patients first as the goal of PPC. In what ways does PPC demonstrate that? Were you surprised to hear that parking was a top priority on the patient satisfaction survey?
