DawnMD is an innovative practice model that offers unlimited primary care for less than the price of a cell phone plan. For a low monthly fee, members have access to any medical care within the scope of Dr. Jones’ practice. Dr. Jones couples this offering with steeply discounted lab services and wholesale prices on medications saving many a bundle on prescriptions. By doing away with insurance contracts and fee for service billing, overhead is cut and incentives are aligned towards health promotion rather than volume of patients seen or procedures performed.
The cornerstones of the DawnMD model (also known as direct primary care) are accessibility, affordability and value. Patients are encouraged to email, text or call when they need medical advice. Even when traveling, patients will have direct access to their personal physician via phone or telemedicine. When urgent needs arise, patients are able to get in for same or next day appointments because of more reasonable patient volumes per provider. Office visits are also longer than in a traditional medical practice. Dr. Jones’ background in rural medicine including ER work, surgical obstetrics, pediatric and nursing home care has equipped her with a broad skill set that allows her to provide members with high value for their dollar. Most procedures that would be expensive in a traditional practice are included in the monthly membership fee at DawnMD. All prices are transparent, and there are never any surprise bills.
Small business owners are encouraged to consider direct primary care memberships as an affordable healthcare benefit option for their employees. While primary care accounts for only 7% of overall healthcare spending, many studies show that access to strong primary care services reduces expenditures elsewhere. Better access to a good primary care doctor who knows you well can help you avoid unnecessary ER visits or other unnecessary tests and procedures ordered by a rushed physician. Accessibility also translates to better outcomes for chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension thus lowering complications such as heart attack and stroke. Dr. Jones is excited to offer this innovative model of healthcare here on the Palouse. More information can be found at dawn.md. We also welcome phone or email inquiries.

Sarah Herroff
Sarah Heroff has been active in the community since she transferred to PHS as a Freshman. While she has participated in sports since she was in elementary school, she favors activities that revolve around community service. In her first two years at PHS, she volunteered for Vacation Bible School, and throughout her Freshman and Sophomore years a PHS career she was a member of Young Christian Athletes. She has also performed as a guitarist and singer in nursing homes and coffee shops around the Palouse since 2017.
When COVID-19 began, Sarah volunteered to make headbands which are attachable to masks so as to reduce the strain that the masks put on the ears of healthcare professionals at hospitals, hospice organizations, and employees at other places on the frontline of the pandemic. She helped over 100 nurses, doctors, and other essential workers with these headbands.
She is starting a job at Identity Day Spa in downtown Pullman this fall, and she will also be enrolled in Running Start at Spokane Falls Community College full-time. She plans on getting her Associates in Arts in two years.
Tycho Honeywell
Tycho Honeywell, son of Phil & Amy Honeywell, has enjoyed the many activities he has participated in while at PHS. In particular, he has got a lot out of the various bands that he has been a part of. Concert and jazz bands have been a lot of fun, especially the trips to Lionel Hampton and Seattle. Pep Band was always exciting and fun. Tycho is active in the Dungeons and Dragons Club, writing and leading adventures with his friends. Tycho is also very active in roller derby, playing for the Cherry Bomb Brawlers, a team that he helped to make the Junior Roller Derby National Championships in 2019. That tournament was one of the major highlights in his high school career. He plans to attend either WSU or the University of Montana to study music and music education. He hopes to teach music and inspire music students, like Joe Covill and Andy Mielke have taught and inspired him.
