Meet one team. Connect to an entire health network.
When you have a healthcare need that isn't an emergency, but your primary care doctor is unavailable for an appointment right away, it can be a challenge to figure out where to turn. For patients who get their care at a GBMC Health Partners advanced primary care practice, another solution is now available with Padonia Plus.
A standalone urgent care facility won't have your medical records at their fingertips and a trip to the Emergency Department (ED) could result in long wait times, especially during COVID-19 surges that overwhelm the system. Padonia Plus allows patients to see a GBMC provider who can access their medical record, message their regular provider, and even make follow-up appointments, if needed. Radiology and phlebotomy services are also available at Padonia Plus.

Just some of the ways that we're changing the face of primary care.
Care Coordination
What does it mean?
Our Physician-led team-based approach to healthcare is the foundation of the patient-centered medial home. Nurse care managers work closely with all of the providers on a patient's team to meet the gamut of needs – medical, social, and financial. The goal is to keep community members healthy and out of the hospital.
Who is on my team?
From medical assistants and primary care physicians to diabetes educators and mental health professionals, a customized care team is formed for each patient, depending on his or her needs.
What are the benefits?
Care teams build relationships with patients, making it their mission to ensure folks understand how to navigate their healthcare. Our teams track disease patterns, teach proper medication usage, schedule preventative screenings, assist in finding financial resources, and more.
It starts with urgency
Knowing that one in eight women are at risk for developing breast cancer, Medical Assistant Samantha Clayton of GBMC at Hunt Manor repeatedly called and left voicemails for Debra, a patient who was long overdue for a mammogram. Like many patients, Debra was resistant and didn't think she needed the screening. Finally, after many repeated attempts by Samantha, Debra made the appointment. Debra was diagnosed with breast cancer, but luckily, thanks to Samantha's tenacity, it was still at an early and treatable stage. It's very likely those persistent calls by her care team member saved Debra's life.
