Too many people experience healthcare as a system that rushes them through or prices them out. For patients managing chronic conditions and everyday needs, access and trust matter as much as clinical expertise. Advanced primary care reframes what care can feel like—built on time, attention, and personal connection. Hear what that look like in practice.

PATIENT STORIES

What real patients say about their care with Marathon Health

A different kind of healthcare experience
"I don't think that would be where I'm at right now if it wasn't for Marathon. It's allowed me to make changes that I just didn't think were possible in the past."

What advanced primary care really means
"The Marathon experience is very unique for the landscape of healthcare these days. Advanced primary care is essentially using all of the resources available from your physician and their team to provide care over your lifetime.
So that includes things like preventive medicine, acute care, urgent care, chronic disease management, mental healthcare, family planning, all of those things that go into keeping a family healthy."

Feeling like more than just a number
"The clinic makes me feel like they really do care about my health."
"It's nice to know that at any moment, if you are sick, you can give a call and come to the office and be taken care of."

Access when it matters most
"I come into work at 6 o'clock in the morning. I can call over here to Marathon Health. I usually get in pretty quickly. About 90 percent of the time, maybe more than that. I get in the same day."
"I can't talk enough about the ease of access and the time they spend with you face to face getting to know you."

Healthcare with intention
"That is healthcare with intention. It means that I'm not just a number somewhere or a file folder somewhere."
"I feel like I'm the only patient they have that day and all the time is spent on me."
"When I get into the room with the doctor, they going to go over everything they need to go over."

No cost, no barrier
"I can't think that I've ever really had to pay much of anything when I came for an appointment."
"If it was expensive, I don't think I would be able to go as often as I have. The no cost for me is fantastic."

Care that builds confidence
"Knowing that I'm listened to, being able to schedule when it's convenient for me, not for somebody else. And knowing that I'll be taken care of, I have great confidence in knowing when I walk out the door, whatever I need will be taken care of."
