Physician Assistant

At Hopscotch Primary Care, we believe great healthcare should be accessible to all people across all communities. Today, almost 20% of Americans live in a rural community, yet only 11% of physicians practice in those same communities. We are on a mission to transform healthcare in rural America. We provide high-quality primary care tailored to meet the needs of our patients through our robust care model and comprehensive care team, delivering care in our clinics, and across settings, and wrapping resources around the patients who need them most. Our patients and the care teams who serve them sit at the center of everything we do at Hopscotch.

Hopscotch Primary Care takes a team approach to serve patient needs and provide the best care possible. Our goal is to provide the care each of us would want for ourselves or for our family members, in the right setting, and at the right time. Today, we are serving thousands of patients in our value-based care model and the number is growing every day. Hopscotch Primary Care is reimagining primary care for older adults in the rural communities of Western North Carolina. We give our clinicians the time, team, and tools to practice medicine the way it should be — focused on the patient, not the paperwork. That means an average of 15 patients per day, smaller panels, longer appointments with charting time built in, and a dedicated support team behind every visit.
