Primary.Health neighborhood wellness clinics provide accessible healthcare services to those who may face barriers to obtaining primary care.
Healthcare disparities pose a significant challenge for many communities. In the United States, 100 million people lack access to primary care, a number that has more than doubled since 2014.
However, community-based screenings can help to bridge this gap in healthcare access. Local wellness and preventative screenings make it easier to detect and treat health issues early, before they become serious. They also engage people in the management of their own health.
Primary.Health enables communities and public health organizations to provide accessible, no-cost health testing for diabetes, heart disease, cholesterol, and other health conditions. Screenings can be held in schools, houses of worship, community centers, independent pharmacies, and other convenient locations. Our clinicians are available for telehealth follow-up if a health issue is identified.
Importantly, our software platform streamlines program administration so you can focus on the needs of the people you serve.
Popular community health services
Primary.Health community clinics support an expansive panel of tests and services that can have a huge impact on community health, including the following:
- Blood pressure: High blood pressure, known as hypertension, can be a sign of diabetes, kidney disease, and other conditions. Measurement is easy with an arm cuff known as a sphygmomanometer.
- Diabetes: Diabetes doubles a person’s risk of heart disease. Diagnosis is simple through blood testing for glucose levels or testing for hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c).
- Cholesterol: High levels of cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. A simple blood test called a lipid profile or lipid panel tests for cholesterol levels.
- COVID-19, RSV and Flu: Advances in rapid and OTC swab testing make it easy to test for highly contagious respiratory infections and seasonal illnesses.
- Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): STIs pose a significant public health challenge and affect people of of all ages, genders, and sexual orientations. We enable easy, discreet self-testing and timely treatment to prevent the spread of STIs in communities.
- Vaccinations: Protect community members from vaccine-preventable disease — from newborn to well child to adults.
We believe everyone should have access to quality healthcare services, regardless of circumstances. We work in your communities and have seen the transformative power of neighborhood health screenings.
