Patients are at the center of care — right where they belong

Our doctors and nurses not only care for their patients, but they care about them too. They take the time to listen and truly get to know each patient. This kind of compassionate, whole-health approach leads to relationships that often become friendly, familiar, and comforting.

Whether patients are trying to maintain their health or need care for a serious, complex, or chronic condition, our Advanced Primary Care helps people become the healthiest they can be.

Care that’s focused on every need

Everyone’s healthcare needs are unique and multifaceted. It’s why we go beyond treating physical symptoms to understand and address a patient’s emotional health, nutritional needs, financial concerns, and family relationships. That’s whole-person care, and it comes with a comprehensive and personalized care plan.

Care plans that include nationally recognized disease prevention and management programs, evidence-based care, and healthy living programs help patients reach their health goals faster.

Integration and coordination are also part of every care plan. At Carelon Health, doctors and nurses communicate with each other, with other care providers, and of course, directly with the patient or caregiver. With everyone working together, care delivery becomes smooth, simple, and more effective.

  • Preventive care screenings. 
  • Balance assessment.

We’re where you need us

Access and availability matter. We add convenience for patients by providing care at the right time and in the right place.

Patients and their care teams connect:

  • At care centers in neighborhoods across the country that offer same-day and walk-in appointments.
  • Via telehealth for virtual visits.
  • At one of our mobile health clinics.
  • At the patient’s home, at a nursing facility, or at a hospital.

Differences that make a big difference

When a patient receives care from a doctor or nurse who knows their name and takes time to get to know them, it’s priceless. It’s how our care team members like to work, and with every visit a patient will experience:

  • Appointments that last from 30 to 60 minutes — there’s no rush.
  • The opportunity to ask questions and get clear answers.
  • Clinicians who work as a team to coordinate care.
  • Treatment plans that are evidence based and follow best practices. 


We believe the road to getting healthier should be personalized, friendly, and effective. It’s why Carelon Health is the better way to feel better.
