We are a rapidly growing, value-based healthcare organization focused on transforming primary care for the Medicare population. Our care model emphasizes longer visits, proactive outreach, and strong provider–patient relationships to improve outcomes and reduce unnecessary emergency room utilization.
Clinics are located in accessible, retail-style settings rather than traditional medical office complexes, creating a modern, patient-friendly environment and a collaborative workspace for clinical teams.
