Utah has the youngest average population in the country and some of the biggest families. That's beautiful — but it also means that when one kid brings strep throat home from school, suddenly you've got three sick kids and a parent with a sore throat too. Taking everybody to the doctor? That's a whole-day event and hundreds of dollars.
Here's the deal — I'm Chris Woods, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner licensed in Utah. You text me what's going on, and I can treat each family member for $59 apiece. No paperwork, no waiting room full of other sick kids, no burning through a Saturday at urgent care.
And it's not just families. Utah has a huge outdoors culture — hiking in Zion, skiing at Park City, camping in Moab. You're out in the backcountry and you start getting UTI symptoms? Or you're in St. George for a tournament and your kid gets an ear infection? Text me. I'll send a prescription to whatever pharmacy is nearby.
For the college students in Provo and Logan — I know student health centers have limited hours and long waits. And a lot of you are on your parents' high-deductible plan where a clinic visit is basically out-of-pocket anyway. Sixty-nine dollars at urgent care for the visit, plus the prescription, plus the copay. Or $59 total with me, prescription included in the evaluation.
