Member Testimonial: Ralph Donkers

By Lee Aase • April 22, 2022

Ralph Donkers of Donkers Hometown Appliances was among the first business owners in Austin to sign up for Corporate Membership at HELPcare Clinic.

After an appointment earlier this week, Ralph shared his thoughts on what he appreciates about HELPcare Clinic membership. Here are some highlights:

  • "What it does is bring community health back to what I call a sane level, where you can have somebody that you know that's going to continuously care for you."
  • "I can't recommend it highly enough to other people...80% to 90% of your basic health care needs are met right here...and the price point is so phenomenally reasonable..."
  • "Even though I'm on Medicare myself, it's still very important to have that family doctor connection."
  • "As an employer, it's nice to offer this benefit. You can offer this to your employees without having a tremendous amount of financial burden on the company, which is important to any small business to watch your costs."
  • "You're not only getting your health care, but you're also getting an organization that cares for you.

HELPcare Clinic uses a membership model and doesn't take insurance, which keeps cost lower, so we can pass those savings on to the members. Our membership includes consistent, unhurried, and personal primary care. Our standard appointment slots are one hour. We include more than 60 of the most commonly needed blood tests in your membership. HELPcare Clinic members also have access to health and wellness education and peer support through HELPcare Community and metabolic health coaching through HELPcare Coach.

I wish I'd had this option when I was running my boutique marketing firm. A plan for 5 employees cost thousands a month. These fees are incredibly reasonable. More importantly than the fees, though, is the quality care and peace of mind that will reduce the anxiety so many feel who can't afford insurance.
