The ONE: Tell us about your business and how you got started.
The ONE: What is unique about your business?
CoreHealth Direct Primary Care is a monthly membership family medicine provider based in Gulf Breeze, FL, and is the brainchild of native Breezer and Navy veteran Larissa Coffey. CoreHealth fills a huge need in the community by providing innovative and affordable health care for individuals, families, and businesses.
The service that Larissa and her team provide is flexible, personable, and convenient because their members have the option to choose between an office visit, a virtual visit, or in-home consultation, and the healthcare provided is personalized to the patient's needs. In our interview below we get to know Larissa and CoreHealth DPC a little better and we find out what makes their service different compared to traditional health care solutions.

Larissa: We want to network with other businesses and build relationships.
The ONE: What have been the benefits to your business since joining The One?

About The ONE
The One was created with a single purpose in mind – YOU! We are all about relationships, and all too often, networking organizations place restrictions on you and only allow you to network “their way”.
The One was created with a single purpose in mind – YOU! We are all about relationships, and all too often, networking organizations place restrictions on you and only allow you to network “their way”.
We believe relationships can’t be built and strengthened with handcuffs on so leave your nametags at the door, forget your networking affiliations (for the day), and start building the relationships that will help you succeed!
At the heart of The One are our local chapters which meet weekly for networking, relationship building, and business development. Each chapter is comprised of entrepreneurs, just like you, who believe that relationship building and networking are an essential part of the success of their businesses and careers. Membership in each chapter is exclusive where only one person per business category is allowed in each chapter. Each chapter holds in-person meetings every week and chapter membership consists of local business owners, entrepreneurs, and community leaders that live and work within the surrounding area of the established chapter.
