Dr. Rachel Hines is a Family Medicine physician who lives and practices in Asheville, NC. Her practice, Lantern Health, is a direct primary care (DPC) practice that serves individuals of all ages, families, and small businesses. She sees value in the DPC model for individuals and families through all life’s stages, emphasizing a trusted relationship between physicians and patients while casting off many limitations imposed by traditional healthcare and insurance.
