Behind the Screens: Meet Beth Balavram, PA-C

What sets virtual care apart isn’t the technology alone — it’s the providers who bring the care to life for patients. In this Behind the Screens series, we spotlight the skilled, compassionate providers who guide patients through recovery, manage complex care needs, and make each interaction personal.

Meet Beth Balavram, PA-C

Clinical Director and Virtual Care Provider  

As a Physician Assistant with 10 years of ER experience, Beth has deep clinical insight, is always calm under pressure, and has an unmatched ability to connect with patients at their most vulnerable moments.

💡 Why Dimer Health?

Beth joined Dimer Health full-time after witnessing firsthand the impact of our virtual-care model while working part-time.

“The idea that we can help patients transition to a safe healing environment post-discharge, while still being connected to medical staff…it just made sense,” she says. “I’ve known the leadership team for years and have always admired their vision for medicine, especially transitional care.”

🏡 Why Virtual Care?

For Beth, telehealth care means meeting patients where they feel safest - at home.

“I love knowing my patients are more comfortable and less frustrated. They’re in their own environment but still getting the medical care they need.”

🩺 Why Dimer Health's Work Matters

Having spent 10 years in the ER, Beth has seen it all.

“So many patients end up in the ER after procedures when they don’t need to be there. It overwhelms the system and pulls them out of their comfort zones unnecessarily. Dimer changes that. We step in before it becomes an emergency.”

She recalls a recent moment that’s stuck with her, coordinating outpatient labs and imaging so a patient could avoid the ER altogether.

“They were relieved. We got answers quickly and treated them virtually. That kind of access is powerful.”

But what really moves Beth are the quieter moments:

“I’ve had the chance to sit with patients, hear their fears, reassure them. It’s the human side of medicine. And it’s why I do what I do.”

❤️ Why Medicine?

Beth’s journey started on an ambulance while living abroad.

“I fell in love with the field.”

After studying Human Development in college and shadowing PAs in multiple specialties, she realized the role perfectly blended human connection and medical problem-solving.

“It’s medicine with heart,” she says. “And I love being part of a team.”

🎧 Who She Is Off the Clock

When Beth isn’t supporting patients, she’s all about family, concerts, and carving out time for herself.

“I love traveling (when I can!), listening to live music, and spending time with my husband and kids. And working out (and wine) help me recharge!”
