Point32Health Collaborates With VillageMD to Expand Access to Healthcare in Massachusetts

VillageMD and Point32Health -- the parent company of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Tufts Health Plan -- announced today a collaboration to expand access to primary healthcare for its Harvard Pilgrim Health Care members in Massachusetts. VillageMD offers full-service primary care in their Village Medical practices across a broad range of physician services focused on disease prevention, chronic condition management, and healthy lifestyles. In addition, 24/7 care will be available with Village Medical via telehealth and at-home visits.

"We are proud to deliver on the promise of more equitable patient access to high-quality healthcare for our members," said Patricia Howard, chief operations officer for Point32Health. 

Point32Health is committed to "whole-person" health that addresses health inequities, social determinants of health, and affordable access to quality care. Village Medical has an ongoing commitment to open more than 50% of the practice locations in medically underserved areas. 

"Village Medical physicians and advanced practice providers work to build trusting relationships with their patients to meet their primary care needs, including for everyday illnesses as well as managing their chronic conditions," said Jon Regis, MD, physician with Village Medical. "With VillageMD's value-based care model, we want our patients to see us at the right frequency to manage their health and have better health outcomes."   

Point32Health and VillageMD are working to expand the program across other lines of Point32Health's business. 

"Both VillageMD and Point32Health are dedicated to ensuring that primary care doctors and specialist providers are working with our diverse population of members to guide them to better health," said Michael Sherman, MD, MBA, MS, executive vice president and chief medical officer for Point32Health.
