Celebrating Black Physicians and the Power of Direct Primary Care with Dr. Gabrielle Williams

February 1
1h 8m

Episode Description

In celebration of Black History Month and Heart Health Month, we're re-airing our powerful conversation with Dr. Gabrielle Williams, founder of Gateway Direct Health in Georgia. Dr. Williams shares her inspiring journey from severe burnout in fee-for-service medicine where she dreaded waking up each morning to discovering Direct Primary Care as her "second chance into medicine." As the first person in her family to attend college, she went on to become a board-certified family physician who now practices medicine on her own terms. In this episode, Dr. Williams candidly discusses the personal and spiritual growth required in that crucial first year of entrepreneurship, the importance of healing from healthcare trauma, and why her patients, even those with insurance, choose her practice for the irreplaceable value of time, trust, and a genuine doctor-patient relationship. Her story embodies the resilience and possibility that emerges when physicians of color build sustainable, community-rooted practices, and serves as both inspiration and practical guidance for anyone considering the DPC path.
