Marie S. Ford, APRN, FNP-BC

"Marie Ford is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner. Marie began her undergraduate education at Mississippi State University in Starkville. Later she pursued nursing studies in Meridian, Mississippi and went on to earn a Masters degree at Samford University in Alabama. Since graduating from Samford University, Marie has worked in family practice, internal medicine, and dermatology. During the years working in the traditional medical model, Marie saw how frustrated her patients were with the system and with insurance companies that quite frankly impeded the care that patients deserve. She discovered Direct Primary Care, and knew she had to act. With the Direct Primary Care (DPC) model, which is built around an idea of patient centered medicine, the focus is shifted from assembly-line medicine to disease prevention and management of chronic conditions in a highly personalized manner."

"At East Memphis Direct Primary Care, we are focused on providing comprehensive health and wellness services. Our direct primary care model helps individuals and businesses in East Memphis and the surrounding area redefine what health care means. We work to treat the entire patient, body and mind, before illness strikes. It's primary care like it should be. We strive to provide the kind of care that we would like to receive."
