Patients in Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Florence and surrounding communities now have additional opportunities to access primary care close to where they live.
HonorHealth has opened three primary care practices in the area this year, including its newest location on the HonorHealth Florence Medical Center campus. Together, the Queen Creek, San Tan Valley and Florence practices are expected to have nine providers caring for patients by the end of the year, increasing appointment availability in these growing communities.
The expansion is intended to help meet increasing demand for primary care services in the region, according to a press release.
“As these communities continue to grow, we want patients to have convenient access to a trusted primary care provider close to home — someone who knows them, understands their health history and can partner with them to stay healthy over the long term,” Jared Berkowitz, MD, chief medical officer for HonorHealth Primary Care, said. “Having primary care nearby also provides a clear path to HonorHealth’s broader network of specialists, services and hospital care when a patient’s needs extend beyond the primary care office.”
The three practices offer a range of primary care services, including annual physicals, health screenings and immunizations, as well as care for chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
Virtual appointments are also available, providing patients with an additional option for receiving care.
