A better way for medicine and the doctor-patient relationship
Dr. Kat Lindley is a Croatian born, American trained board-certified family physician with a direct primary care practice in Texas. Her passion has always been helping people. She became a family physician because she loved the idea of taking care of the whole family and seeing the family grow. Later in her career, she became interested in helping find solutions to the broken healthcare system.
Doctor Lindley is involved with many medical organizations, including American Academy of Physicians and Surgeons, is on the Steering Committee of World Council for Health, and is a passionate advocate for her profession, her patients and veteran healthcare.
In this video, Kat shares her vision for healthcare including the true role of the physician in supporting people’s health and well-being. In her own words: “I realized early on in my career that medicine is more than just the practice of it. Medicine is also an opportunity to become a voice for patients and colleagues. My desire to make a difference led me to working with some amazing individuals with the same goal, to make medicine better for everyone while pursuing the three important tenets of the American way of life: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. There is a better way and together we will make a difference.”
