The organization's Outreach Program addresses healthcare inequities by expanding access to high-quality dermatological care in underserved communities, bridging the gap in access to specialists.
DALLAS, April 25, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- U.S. Dermatology Partners, one of the largest dermatology groups in the country, announced a significant milestone with the opening of its 100th location in Sulphur Springs, Texas. The new location is part of the organization's Outreach Program, which is aimed at providing high-quality dermatological care to underserved and rural communities. During the next three years, thirty new offices will be opened in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, and Virginia as part of their commitment.
The 100th location in Sulphur Springs will offer convenient access to dermatology and skin cancer treatments to patients in Hopkins County, addressing the long-standing healthcare inequities that exist in rural areas. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), individuals living in rural areas face a greater likelihood of premature death from illnesses such as skin cancer, underscoring the significance of initiatives that bring healthcare services and specialists closer to home. Through the Outreach Program, U.S. Dermatology Partners is working to eliminate the long-standing challenges that patients in rural areas face, such as extensive wait times and having to travel long distances to receive care in urban and suburban areas.
"Reaching 100 offices is a significant moment and milestone for U.S. Dermatology Partners and I'm grateful for our team members who have helped us get to this point," said Paul Singh, Chief Executive Officer at U.S. Dermatology Partners. "Throughout our expansion efforts, we've maintained our values of doing what is good for people, our communities, and our organization. Sulphur Springs is no exception, and I'm looking forward to the value that we can continue to drive across the U.S."
U.S. Dermatology Partners was founded in 2012 and has grown to become a nationally recognized leader in dermatology for its patient-centered approach, innovative technology and treatment methods, leadership in clinical research, and coordinated care network. With the opening of its 100th location under the Outreach Program, U.S. Dermatology Partners builds on the program's legacy of reaching patients closer to home in the communities they live and work.
"As an organization, we are proud to deliver care that is at or better than national benchmarks, and we are excited to be extending that commitment to rural communities across the country," said Dr. Glenn Goldstein, chief medical officer at U.S. Dermatology Partners. "Improving accessibility to dermatological care for patients in these communities will allow for earlier detection of life-threatening conditions, such as skin cancer, ultimately leading to better health outcomes."
The organization's recent openings in Forney, Texas, Muskogee, Oklahoma, Cushing, Oklahoma, and now Sulphur Springs, Texas, further expands on their efforts for the Outreach Program and positions the organization to continue to deliver on their vision. U.S. Dermatology Partners looks forward to continuing to serve rural and underserved communities across the United States.
