What is Wrong With Healthcare??

doTERRA steps forward to announce major NEW Healthcare Initiative in the US for 2018!

It is no secret that the healthcare system in the United States is broken. Every year we devote nearly $10,000 per capita per household to healthcare. Yet our infant mortality rate is higher than Japan, Italy, France, Germany OR the UK.  It is estimated that 1 in 3 American children born in 2015 now has a chance of becoming diabetic during his lifetime. A 2015 study conducted by the World Health Organization reported that life expectancy in the US came in at a dismal 4th (78.9 years) behind Japan (83.7), France (82.8), and the UK (81.4).  At its current rate of decline, life expectancy in this country is projected to be on par with the likes of Czech Republic, Croatia, and Mexico by 2030.  Much of what ails us is to be improved with simple lifestyle changes. What is the fix?  doTERRA has stepped up to offer a solution. During their 2017 Global Convention, company leadership announced the launch of their ambitious "doTERRA Healthcare Initiative." Set to open its first integrative medical clinic in 2018, this new approach will implement a team of dedicated doctors (MDs and DOs), nutritionists, essential oil experts, and wellness coaches to ensure that patients become involved in and receive the highest level of care. Additionally, patients will have 24/7 access to their doctors via telemedicine and more face time when they meet with their doctor in person.

Dr. Brannick Riggs, MD has practiced medicine for 13 years in Roy, Utah.  He is a graduate of the University of Arizona College of Medicine and completed a fellowship with the Dr. Andrew Weil, MD of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine.  He will serve as the Vice President of the newly launched doTERRA Healthcare Initiative and Chief Medical Director of doTERRA's first integrative healthcare clinic. The clinic is set to open in the central Utah valley area in 2018, with other partner and affiliate clinics and a 24/7 tele-health service soon to follow.

"The average doctor sees 45 patients a day.  Which leaves each patient just 7 minutes to spend with their physician." Explained central Utah family physician, Dr.  Brannick Riggs.  "It is impossible to accurately diagnose and treat in that amount of time." Dr. Riggs went on to say that pharmaceutical and insurance companies are at the heart of the problem. "Who else will take on healthcare?"  He asked.  "Pharmaceutical companies are lobbying heavily to keep the status quo.  And the insurance companies’ priority is to make a profit for investors… often at odds with what is best for the patient." The project aims to incorporate essential oils and other integrative approaches into a traditional healthcare model. Empowering patients with natural solutions and good information which will inevitably lead to lower healthcare costs and improved patient outcomes. Dr. Riggs currently practices Family Medicine in Roy, Utah. He will serve as the Vice President of the Initiative and Chief Medical Director of doTERRA's new medical clinic, set to open in north central Utah in 2018. doTERRA partner clinics, along with a nationwide 24/7 tele-health service, will be soon to follow.
