GBMC Health Partners

Advanced Primary Care emphasizes:

• Hours that meet the needs of the people
• Chronic disease management
• Accountability for the health of the community
• Keeping them out of the hospital

Urban communities that have an adequate supply of primary care providers experience:

• Lower infant mortality
• Healthier children
• Higher immunization rates
• Healthier workforce

The proper system also leads to less waste, because of:

• Fewer hospitalizations
• Less duplication of treatment & testing
• Adults who have a primary care physician accumulate 33% lower healthcare-related costs
• More effective, higher-quality care

To us, advanced primary care is about much more than your physical health. That's why we've teamed up with leaders in the industry to start the Collaborative Care Program. Mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, licensed social workers, and behavioral health and substance use experts, are all part of the care team at GBMC, when needed. These experts work together to proactively address a wide range of conditions including anxiety, depression, substance use issues, ADHD, and more. Our Behavioral Health Care Managers (BHCMs) provide custom recommendations to best fit the needs of each patient and work with their primary care providers to create individual care plans. Support from the BHCM is provided in the method that works best for patients – phone, MyChart message, video chat, or in-person visit – and is offered at a time that fits your needs.
