01
Healthcare Shortage
The U.S. is experiencing a severe healthcare workforce shortage. By 2016 the number of primary care physicians leaving practice exceeded the number entering practice. This has resulted in a healthcare bottleneck, with the country needing more than 50,000 additional primary care physicians to accommodate population growth, an aging population, and the previously uninsured.
Consequently, healthcare has adopted an assembly line model of care. A new model of primary care is needed, one that truly expands and streamlines healthcare, and puts the patient first.

Our Approach
By offering both an “in-house” onsite medical clinic and facilitating direct communication with the doctor 24/7/365, Vested Healthcare Partners, has reimagined how companies provide healthcare. Employees can be seen conveniently “in-house” in a timely manner for their annual wellness exams, chronic condition management, and other primary care needs. Additionally, whether at the worksite or in the comfort of home, an employee (or family member) can connect directly with the doctor to address medical needs and receive a prescription and doctor’s note when appropriate. Virtual doctor visits occur video conferencing platform but communication may also occur through phone calls, text messaging, and emails.
