Dr. Jim Rickards MD, MBA, is a board certified physician, who believes our health results from what happens in both the clinic and the community. As most of our lives are spent outside the hospital or doctor's office, he feels this is where we need to focus our efforts on improving health and lowering health care costs. Dr. Rickards spent the early part of his career in a dark room as a radiologist talking to him self while interpreting medical imaging studies such as CAT scans and MRI's. Over the course of his career, he looked for ways to move beyond helping individual patients to improve the health of populations and communities. As a result, he helped start a community governed health care plan in which providers and patients govern the use and development of healthcare resources. He also helped leverage technology to increase access and quality of care with the start of a teledermatology program. Dr. Rickards has also helped develop and guide health policy and legislation at the state level during his time as the Chief Medical Officer for the Oregon Health Authority. Currently, Dr. Rickards is working to integrate value based payment models and population health strategies for commercial insurance, Medicare and Medicaid populations.
