Should I have a Newsletter?

Episode Summary: In this episode, Phil and Marina discuss the role newsletters can play in a Direct Primary Care pediatric practice. While not every practice sends them regularly, newsletters can be a powerful way to stay connected with families between visits, share helpful pediatric insights, and remind patients about the value of membership care.

They explore how newsletters help keep your practice top of mind, strengthen relationships with current members, and even encourage referrals from families who may not need care very often. The conversation also touches on what makes a newsletter engaging—from seasonal health tips to practice updates—and how to keep the process manageable so it doesn’t become another overwhelming task.

If you’ve ever wondered whether newsletters are worth sending—or what you should include in one—this episode offers practical insights and encouragement for DPC pediatricians looking to communicate more effectively with their families.
