On Thursday, April 24, Dr. William Hazel, Jr., the Secretary of Health and Human Services for Virginia, and Dr. Jennifer Lee, the Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services for Virginia, presented DocTalker Family Medicine of Vienna, VA with The Global Health Award.

The Global Health Award is annually bestowed on companies or organizations that are innovative leaders in the industry of healthcare or global health. DocTalker Family Medicine was awarded this honor due to their patient-centered business model of delivering quality healthcare in a manner that can be emulated internationally.

By integrating a direct pay system that includes in-office visits, house calls as well as telemedicine, DocTalker has formulated an expandable model of personal health care delivery that can be easily duplicated in other parts of the country and the world.

DocTalker Family Medicine has been in business for over 11 years in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. Their practice only charges their patients for the amount of time that the doctor spends with the patient. After an initial assessment, DocTalker believes that 60% of all medical issues can be handled over the phone or by email. DocTalker also make housecalls for those that can't come to their office. This allows patients immediate, direct access to their doctors 24/7/365 days a year.
