VillageMD will operate state-of-the-art primary care clinics
next to five Walgreens stores in the Houston area, with the first
locations scheduled to open by the end of 2019. The conveniently
located clinics, branded ‘Village Medical at Walgreens,’ will
provide comprehensive primary care services, integrated tightly
with pharmacists, nurses and social workers to meet the full suite
of patient needs. The clinics will be comprised of 2,500 square
feet to serve the full adult continuum, including seniors.
The two companies continue to explore expansion of ‘Village
Medical at Walgreens’ primary care clinics in Houston and other
markets.
Village Medical at Walgreens patients will benefit from
VillageMD’s patent-pending docOS system, which integrates data and
technology to give patients the best care possible with a
360-degree view of their health needs. docOS identifies missing
diagnoses and gaps in health, allowing doctors and patients to
better manage the chronic conditions that impede health and drive
costs in the healthcare system. The advanced technology includes an
easy and convenient check in either by phone or a kiosk, home-based
monitoring, and tele-medicine.
“This collaboration with VillageMD demonstrates our ongoing
commitment to create neighborhood health destinations that bring
affordable health care services to customers and provide a
differentiated patient experience to the communities we
serve,” said Pat Carroll, M.D., Walgreens chief medical
officer and group vice president, healthcare services and clinical
programs.
“VillageMD has a strong track record nationally
of improving outcomes and reducing the cost of healthcare through
their transformative primary care model. With more than 120
primary care physicians in their medical group in Houston,
we look forward to working with them as we focus on
the health and well-being of the community,” added
Carroll.
“The integration of primary care and pharmacy is yet another
example of the value-based commitment that Walgreens and VillageMD
demonstrate to customers, patients and the broader healthcare
landscape,” said Tim Barry, CEO of VillageMD. “We are honored to
collaborate with such a trusted partner in the lives of so many
Americans.”
