Patient Story - A Complete Transformation
 After leading a Health Literacy class, Chris, a Doctors Care Health Coverage Guide, was approached by a woman she didn't recognize. The woman, however, appeared to know Chris. Chris realized she was the same woman who had come to Doctors Care several months earlier for help after she'd been forced to drop her health coverage due to the high cost of premiums. Doctors Care had helped her enroll in a more affordable plan that fit her needs. With this new coverage, the woman was finally able to have hip replacement surgery. Now pain-free, she had stopped relying on alcohol and was exercising regularly. Her appearance and demeanor were transformed! She was grateful for the help she received at Doctors Care which enabled her to get the care she needed.
