Primary Care At Home
We’ve revived the house call by developing a home-based medical care program for older adults and adults living with a disability designed to lessen emergency room visits and hospitalizations. The program’s dedicated medical team makes regularly scheduled home visits with the time to deliver personalized, inclusive care to address the patient’s health and overall well-being.
“It’s been wonderful. I have so much help. Now I’m getting my medications. They call me every week to get my blood pressure and make sure I’m alright. I do have faith in this program because they’re very attentive and answer all my questions I have and they listen. I trust them with all my healthcare. I consider them friends as well as caretakers.”
