      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;Direct Primary Care&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 28px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Í\|'" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Impact of Bad Health Benefits on Business&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Í\|'" style="font-size: 25px;"&gt;and a Practical Solution&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#9E0B0F"&gt;&lt;em&gt;One hour of MO and KS insurance CE credit available&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#9E0B0F"&gt;&lt;em&gt;One hour of SHRM credit pending&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Dan Gogliotti with Rezilient Health&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;will&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;discuss the impact of healthcare benefits on business, the evolution of primary care models, and the rise of direct primary care as a solution.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://ebpa-kc.org/resources/Pictures/elf-moondance-hospital-6700680.png" alt="" title="" border="0" width="180" height="120" align="right" style="margin: 10px;"&gt;He argues that, as employer healthcare costs rise, brokers need to look beyond annual renewals and evaluate care models for long-term value. He highlights underinvestment in primary care as a contributor to delayed treatment and higher downstream costs. Dan compares traditional primary care—with large patient panels and short visits—to Direct Primary Care (DPC), which offers smaller panels and longer, relationship-focused visits but requires upfront fees.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The takeaway is to assess care models using a scorecard for access, engagement, scope, data, implementation, and fit—while balancing patient and provider experience, affordability, and scalability.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dan Gogliotti&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;is a member of the Growth Team at Rezilient Health, where he partners with employers, brokers, and consultants to expand access to innovative primary care solutions across the St. Louis region and nationwide. Before joining Rezilient, Dan spent more than 13 years owning and operating multi-location private healthcare practices, giving him firsthand experience navigating the challenges employers and employees face in accessing quality care. Today, he helps organizations leverage Rezilient's technology-enabled care model, which currently includes 17 CloudClinic locations across five states (and more in the near future). Founded in St. Louis, Rezilient is redefining how employers deliver accessible, affordable healthcare to their workforce.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
