In response to your recent article “PhysicianOne gobbles up Greater Hartford urgent care provider,” I wish to clarify a few points.
In response to your recent article “PhysicianOne gobbles up Greater Hartford urgent care provider,” I wish to clarify a few points.
PhysicianOne Urgent Care is a local, physician-founded, urgent-care company. As chief medical officer, I am responsible for oversight of clinical staff, developing clinical best practices and ensuring consistency in the delivery of high-quality, evidence-based care.
I founded the company in 2008 with two other physician partners to assist Connecticut residents in getting the right care at the right time, and at the right cost. As medical professionals, nothing is more important than providing high-quality, convenient medical care to our patients. Since we founded PhysicianOne Urgent Care in 2008, our mission remains unchanged today, “[to] provide uncompromising, convenient care with a team of friendly and compassionate professionals that treats [our patients] with the kindness and respect [they] deserve.”
Our expansion has included working with local physician-owned urgent-care companies that have decided it was in the best interest of their employees and patients to transition to a company that could best support their growth.
My office is located in our Glastonbury center, and I am excited to get to know the communities of our newest locations. (PhysicianOne Urgent Care has acquired New England Urgent Care and its practice locations in Bristol, Enfield, Manchester and West Hartford.)
Sincerely,
Dr. Jeannie Kenkare, PhysicianOne Urgent Care, Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder
