First Primary & Urgent Care (Med First), an independent primary

to 26. They join B-L Family Medicine of Leesville, SC, Primary & Immediate Care of
the Pines, of Aberdeen, NC, and
Solid Rock Family Medicine of Morganton,

felt all over the Carolinas," said Paul
Feneck, CEO of Med First.
"This most recent group of clinic additions illustrates the
geographic growth of the Med First group and reinforces our belief
that the need for independent Primary Care is felt all over the
Carolinas," said Paul Feneck, CEO of
Med First. "Our interaction with practices in and beyond our
current markets gives us great confidence that this growth trend
will continue and that Med First is the partner of choice for
independent providers."
Med First is addressing the increasing demands on primary care
providers in a constantly evolving healthcare environment. They
offer the expertise to help practices achieve sustained success and
growth without sacrificing quality patient care. By heavily
investing in quality management and establishing a strong ACO
partnership, Med First provides clinical support through
combination of efficient digital tools and an in-house department
of quality specialists supporting the clinical teams that interact
with patients.
"Joining Med First was the best choice for ensuring that the
patients we care for would have a medical home for years to come,"
said Enid Tallmer, PA-C, co-owner of
FamHealth. "My business partner, Miguel, and I can start to plan
for our lives after medicine, now that we have a partner in Med
First that is committed to building on the foundation we
created."
The recent expansion of Med First in the Carolinas shines light
on the growing number of independent primary care practices in
jeopardy of closing as a generation of clinicians looks to retire.
It has become more difficult for independent practices to recruit
the next generation of clinicians as health systems compete over
medical talent. Med First has developed a partnership opportunity
that will keep practices independent and allow practitioners the
freedom to practice without worrying about the business side of the
practice. In addition, the Med First model provides practitioners
with an established transition plan to retirement.
