Revolutionizing Chiropractic Care: Building a New Healthcare Network
In a recent episode of Let’s Talk Health, hosted by Dr. Dan Pavlik Jr. and sponsored by the Access Health Wellness Association (AHWA), guest Stan Flynt, Principal at RosenSure Insurance, unveiled a groundbreaking initiative aimed at elevating chiropractic care. Their discussion centered on empowering chiropractors to take on larger roles within healthcare networks, addressing inefficiencies, and offering holistic, cost-effective alternatives to conventional primary care.
The Case for Chiropractic Leadership in Healthcare
Chiropractic care has long been undervalued within the traditional healthcare model, despite evidence showing it can reduce costs and improve patient outcomes. Both Dr. and Flynt emphasized the unique value chiropractors bring by focusing on lifestyle, behavior, and preventive care rather than defaulting to expensive, invasive interventions.
According to Flynt, patients and insurers can save significantly when chiropractors serve as initial care providers for non-emergency conditions, such as back pain, headaches, or musculoskeletal issues. Research shows these outcomes are both cost-effective and beneficial to overall health.
A New Vision: Chiropractors as Primary Entry Points
Flynt’s vision is to create a parallel healthcare system where chiropractors and holistic practitioners act as the “first point of care.” This network would serve as an alternative to traditional models, providing patients easy access to less invasive, cost-effective care.
To achieve this, Flynt proposes:
1. Building a Chiropractic Network: Recruiting a minimum of 30 chiropractors in the Central Florida region as a proof-of-concept network.
2. Integration with Hospitals and Healthcare Networks: Offering chiropractic care as a valid primary care option to self-insured employers and hospital systems.
3. Providing Choice to Patients: Ensuring chiropractors are visible and accessible in healthcare directories, breaking down barriers to entry for patients.
“We’re no longer asking to be included in the back pages of healthcare directories. We’re building our own bridge alongside traditional medicine,” Flynt stated passionately.
The Need for Local Focus
Flynt underscored the importance of starting small and growing organically to maintain focus and effectiveness. Using Central Florida as a testbed, the goal is to deliver data-driven outcomes that showcase the model’s success before scaling regionally or nationally.
“Sometimes, growing too fast dilutes the message. By starting local, we prove our concept works and refine the model before expanding,” said Flynt, reflecting on his previous national business ventures.
A Call to Action for Chiropractors
Flynt issued a direct appeal to chiropractors in Central Florida: join this movement and be part of a game-changing network that shifts how healthcare is delivered. His immediate goal is to assemble at least 30 chiropractors to build credibility with hospital systems and employers.
For interested chiropractors, Flynt encourages reaching out to discuss participation, sharing updates, and creating momentum for the project. Contact Stan Flynt at sflynt@rosensure.com to join the initiative.
A Legacy of Change
The episode concluded with a heartfelt acknowledgment of the late Harris Rosen, a pioneer in innovative healthcare solutions. His contributions to Orlando’s healthcare and business landscape inspired this effort to reshape chiropractic care’s role.
As Dr. Pavlik Jr. stated, “This is a step in the right direction—providing good outcomes that move people toward real health. It’s not just about reducing costs; it’s about empowering holistic and preventive care.”
This initiative stands as a bold move to position chiropractic care as a vital part of a proactive, patient-first healthcare system—paving the way for healthier, more sustainable communities.
