Speaker Info:

Patrick Brady, Sr VP of Sales and Marketing, has led employer outreach at Tryon Direct since its inception in June of 2019. Prior to Tryon Direct he was Director of Major and National Accounts at Blue Cross NC and has 27 years of leadership and sales experience with both Blue Cross NC and CIGNA. Patrick shares a core belief that meaningful change can only take place at the hands of the primary care physician-patient relationship. Direct primary care removes the barriers to care and is the single biggest impact an employer can have on quality and cost. There are no competing interests to generate more services, which has led to the 25% of waste in the health care system.
