Mobile In-Home Physician Company Wants to Help People by Bringing the Doctor's Office to the Patient

West Palm Beach, FL, October 05, 2007 --(PR.com)-- When 94 year old Mrs. Collins asked her daughter to look for a doctor who could visit her at her home, the answer was: “nobody does that anymore”. However, a few weeks later a friend gave her a flyer from a company called Family Home Physicians, a mobile in-home physician company. Ms. Collins called, and the next day a team of a doctor and a medical assistant were at her home diagnosing her condition and caring for her medical needs.

“A lot of people think that home visits are a thing of the past. Some people might refer to it as old-fashion medicine; we believe it’s the future,” says Dr. Seth Levy, executive director for Family Home Physicians. Aware to the fact that Americans are living longer and by 2014 the population of those 65 and older will reach 44.6 million (according to 2000 Census), and that the emergency rooms are more overcrowded than ever, Levy says that it’s more then a doctor’s visit, this is a community service: “We offer patients quality compassionate care, all in the comfort and security of their own home or living facility. For the senior’s family, we offer peace of mind”.

When patients call Family Home Physicians to schedule an appointment, they find they can have the doctor see them in their own home the very next day, and the news is even better when they realize that Medicare will cover the cost of the visit and any diagnostic tests that are necessary.

For their patient’s convenience, Family Home Physicians has combined the old-fashioned doctor house call with high-tech mobile medical services such as EKG, ultrasound, echocardiograms, blood draws, and an electronic medical records (EMR) paperless system.

About Family Home Physicians: With headquarters in Plymouth, Michigan, and serving patients in three states, Family Home Physicians covers the tri-county area of south Florida: Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade with offices in West Palm Beach, Dania Beach and Doral. In addition new offices in Sarasota and Fort Myers have opened in the last month and the company plans further expansion nationally.
