Gather Health aims to improve lives and
communities for older adults by championing socially-supported and holistic
primary care as a collective neighborhood interest. Begun by physicians and
healthcare leaders who carry decades of experience in the delivery of
exceptional care, Gather Health links each individual with a full team of local
advocates dedicated to helping them manage their personal health.
Gather’s innovative primary care model
leverages a provider with a ‘wrap-around’ care team approach. EMTs and Guide
Partners are hired from and for the communities being served to transcend the
walls of doctors’ offices as centers of medical care. Patients will enjoy
in-clinic, at-home, or virtual care, depending on their unique medical and
social needs. Each dedicated care team will consist of a Primary Care Provider;
a Guide Partner to provide social support and to help navigate the
ever-complicated healthcare system; and a Medical Technician Partner to provide
patients with at-home visits. Gather will also offer transportation to patients
for medical visits, a neighborhood office with space for classes and social
events, and technology-enabled care designed to help patients in the comfort of
their homes.
Gather opened its first primary care practice in
Quincy, MA in early 2023. The company will be launching other locations and
markets to follow in 2024.
