Phix Health’s approach to health care addresses critical aspects of senior care: access to care, and better management of multiple chronic conditions as seniors age. Providing regular on-site care reduces the need for urgent care, ER visits, and on-site emergency medical attention, as well as the disruption this may cause for patients and their families. On-site care has proven to reduce ER visits and hospital readmissions. Equally important is the care, compassion and convenience we bring to our patients. With regular checkups, medication management and other supplemental services, we help patients manage any illness or discomfort they may experience and we simplify access to care, avoiding the hassle of scheduling and coordinating transportation, especially for those with mobility issues.
