Access Clinical Partners, LLC Announce the Launch of GoHealth Urgent Care Brand
Menlo Park, CA (PRWEB) December 19, 2014 -- Urgent care specialists Access Clinical Partners, LLC, announce the launch of its national urgent care brand, GoHealth Urgent Care. GoHealth aims to establish itself as a trusted national brand of neighborhood urgent care clinics, partnered with leading health systems across the country. GoHealth combines hospitality, design, and seamless integration with its health system partners into one urgent care destination. GoHealth’s urgent care centers serve as a more convenient and cost-effective alternative to hospital emergency departments for non-life threatening injuries and as an immediate option to those without a primary care physician.
GoHealth centers are designed for a warm, friendly experience that is ideal for both individuals and families. In addition to urgent care, GoHealth centers provide on-site basic imaging and laboratory services as well as immunizations, sports physicals, and seasonal flu shots. GoHealth centers deliver an effortless experience for patients with a team of physicians and other medical providers who administer compassionate and personalized care.
GoHealth’s greatest distinction is its partnerships with leading health systems. These unique partnerships create a seamless link between GoHealth Urgent Care and the broader continuum of care to ensure that people who need primary care or additional treatment receive appropriate, timely referrals and follow-up. Historically, urgent care centers have faced criticism for being isolated destinations with no connection to other providers or health institutions. GoHealth addresses these concerns through partnerships with top health systems, complete medical record integration, and providers who offer easy navigation for patients in need of additional care.
“Our vision is to revolutionize access to care. We believe by combining our quality of care with our larger health system partners, we can empower patients to better navigate the healthcare system,” says Si France, MD, CEO and Founder of GoHealth.
GoHealth launched its first 2 of 50 locations in Long Island, New York, in partnership with New York’s largest health system, North Shore-LIJ. The first centers to open include Forest Hills and Massapequa in Long Island. An additional 13 locations are planned for 2015, with the remaining locations to be built across the tri-state area by 2018. The new facilities will be marketed and branded as North Shore-LIJ / GoHealth Urgent Care.
