“If you want to be truly successful, focus on one thing ... your relationships.” At the heart of our mission to deliver proactive, patient-centered care stands Jay Shi, MD, a primary care physician at the Congress Park Clinic in Denver, Colorado. Since co-founding the clinic in 2021 with practice administrator Jamie Brave, Dr. Shi has helped grow the practice from two providers to seven by September 2025. The clinic is a joint venture between Saint Joseph Hospital and National Jewish Health and is located on the National Jewish campus. “We attract a mix of community patients and medically complex patients who follow National Jewish specialists. It keeps us lifelong learners,” Dr. Shi said. But beyond the numbers and growth metrics, Dr. Shi represents the indelible impact primary care physicians have, not just on patients, but on our broader healthcare industry.
