ORLANDO, Fla., June 12, 2019
/PRNewswire/ -- Orlando-based Jackson Nurse
Professionals and Jackson Therapy Partners – both part of
the Jackson Healthcare family of companies – and CareHere
today announced the opening of an on-site health center at the
companies' Orlando offices. The
CareHere eHealth Center™, called the Jackson Healthcare Wellness
Center, staffs an on-site registered nurse and a full-time remote
physician to provide acute and primary care, care coordination,
chronic condition management and health coaching, as well as some
occupational health services to Jackson Nurse Professionals and
Jackson Therapy Partners associates and their families.
"We are very excited to join the short list of Orlando-area employers who offer free,
convenient, quality healthcare to all of our associates and their
family members," said Jackson Healthcare Group President Scott
L'Heureux. "Services like these help us live out our mission of
improving the delivery of patient care and the lives of everyone we
touch."
Jackson Healthcare provides free healthcare to nearly 1,000
associates and their families at its Alpharetta, GA campus through a dedicated
on-site health center that is staffed with physicians, advanced
practice professionals and nurses who dispense medications to
associates and their families. With a smaller population of
associates in Orlando, Jackson
Nurse Professionals and Jackson Therapy Partners needed an
alternative model to deliver high-quality care.
"There are approximately 200,000 employer locations with
anywhere from 100 – 1,000 employees on-site. The problem
faced by those employers is how to provide a cost-effective,
high-quality on-site health center solution," said Michael Gonzales, vice president of product
development and innovation at CareHere. "The CareHere team is
combining the latest in healthcare technology with our industry
leading Population Health Management solutions to create a unique,
first-in-the-industry model for locations with 100 employees and
larger. We applaud Jackson Nurse Professionals and Jackson
Therapy Partners for continuing to be visionary leaders and
partners in revolutionizing how healthcare is delivered."
The Jackson Healthcare Wellness Center utilizes an on-site
nurse, cutting-edge security and medical instruments, and a secure
high-definition video connection to the provider. To get care,
associates and their family members can easily schedule an
appointment online, on the CareHere App, or can call CareHere's
Patient Support Center toll free. Appointments can be the
same-day or in the future. The nurses in the health center
welcome patients, take their vitals, and gather symptoms and health
concerns information. The nurse then connects with the doctor
through secure video chat and facilitates assessment of the patient
by the doctor. Patients are prescribed any needed medications at
the pharmacy of their choice.
"Our organization is committed to enhancing the well-being of
our associates, and we work diligently to implement ongoing
programs that make a difference in their lives," said Robyn Smith, executive vice president of human
resources at Jackson Healthcare. "CareHere brought us an
innovative model that was the perfect fit for our needs, and
now our associates in Orlando have
the same access to care as our associates in Alpharetta."
