Our mission at First Stop Health is to make healthcare delightful & affordable. Teira Gunlock, our CEO, noted that at a high level, we have 5 strategic routes that we continue to move down: Measurably improve the health of our patients; Provide high-quality virtual care; Help patients smoothly transition to in-person care when appropriate; Save employers money; Provide care that people love®. Primary care is designed to improve overall population health and equalize access to high-quality preventive care. It has long been cited as an effective strategy to reduce overall healthcare costs and make people healthier, but “the system” hasn’t necessarily made it easy for patients to adopt. Generally, national average wait times to see a primary care doctor exceed 3 weeks, expensive copays discourage scheduling, and the fee-for-service nature of America’s healthcare system does not always line up with physicians’ desire to care for and heal patients. Our Enhanced Primary Care is the greatest move to date towards team-based care, an integrated approach to care delivery that values provider collaboration, preventive screenings and proactive treatments. #carethatpeoplelove #PCP #enhancedprimarycare #virtualcare
