In America, we have a disastrous misperception of primary care medicine. Perpetuated by pop culture, pharmaceutical companies, government entities, insurers, and even medical schools and health care practitioners, this misunderstanding allows people to descend into completely preventable diseases and disabilities. It causes horrific financial nightmares for patients and their families, does enormous damage to the US economy, and sometimes even kills people. And curing that misperception is the surprisingly simple key to transforming America's broken health care system into the most effective in the world. The data are clear and absolutely indisputable.

The Power of Primary Care is the story of Dr. Nayana Vyas's 50-year journey across four continents, resulting in the creation of a nationally recognized, award-winning primary care medical conglomerate that produced superior patient outcomes in a cost-effective manner.

On the practice level, Dr. Vyas overcame many of the shortcomings of American health care and guided her patients through healthful lives by preventing illnesses and disabilities and stopping incipient diseases in their tracks.

The Power of Primary Care offers:

• A hopeful exploration of the future of American health care.
• A primary care model that can be emulated by other primary care physicians.
• Encouragement to patients and their families, medical professionals, legislators, insurers, medical educators, and all stakeholders who seek a superior health care system.
• Proposals for reforms, at the national level, to eliminate the many obstacles Dr. Vyas overcame in her own practice.
• Steps any patient can take to make the American health care system work optimally for them on a personal level.
