Do you really need a primary care doctor if you feel healthy? When should you stop searching your symptoms online and call your doctor?

As Delaware continues to grow, so does the need for accessible primary care close to home.

In this episode of Scrub In: A Podcast Where Purpose Meets Care, host Rachel Bowman sits down with two of Bayhealth’s newest primary care clinicians: Prarthana Patkar, MD, of Bayhealth Primary Care, Blue Hen and Sara Parisi, MD, of Bayhealth Primary Care, Middletown, Delaware.

We go beyond the credentials to get to know the people behind the scrubs, hear why they chose primary care and learn what they wish more patients knew about their health. They also tackle common primary care myths and answer the questions patients are already asking.

Sharing your health is personal. You trust clinicians with your story. On Scrub In, they trust you with theirs.

We listen. We laugh. We get real. And we leave a little smarter about our health.

What does a digital leader actually do in health care and how is that role shaping the future of patient care?

In this episode of Scrub In, we sit down with Mac Marlow, Bayhealth’s new Chief Digital Information Officer, to explore how technology, data and innovation are coming together to improve care across central and southern Delaware.

With 27 years of experience in healthcare technology and a passion for people-first innovation, he shares how Bayhealth is approaching digital transformation from improving core systems to using “invisible AI” like ambient listening and automation tools that reduce burden on care teams.

We also dive into:
• How technology can give time back to providers
• The role of AI in improving, not replacing, the human connection
• Cybersecurity trust and responsible innovation in healthcare
• Building strong teams and culture in a rapidly changing digital world

Whether you're a clinician, healthcare leader or simply curious about the future of medicine, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at how Bayhealth is using technology to deliver smarter, safer and more compassionate care.
