Paul Buehrens, MD

Dr. Paul Buehrens has spent more than four decades as a physician, working at the intersection of family medicine and geriatric care. But beyond his clinical expertise, Paul is a passionate advocate for reimagining healthcare—moving beyond the constraints of our current system to create something more human-centered, connected, and effective.

His career has been defined by a deep commitment to patient care, innovation, and systemic change. Whether treating individuals in his Washington-based practice, contributing to the development of tools that empower patients (like the Sync.MD app), or co-founding the Healthcare Reinvention Collaborative, Paul brings both experience and vision to the work of transforming healthcare.

At HRC, Paul helps build bridges between those working on change—from frontline providers to policy thinkers—ensuring that great ideas don’t get stuck in silos. He believes that real transformation happens when people with diverse perspectives come together to challenge the status quo and design solutions that truly serve patients, caregivers, and communities.

Paul's work isn't just about fixing what's broken; it's about creating something better. His leadership at HRC reflects his belief that healthcare can be reimagined—not in isolated efforts, but through bold, collaborative action.
