CenterWell Senior Primary Care will open three new
senior-focused primary care centers in Charlotte this year, marking
the company’s debut in the city and giving seniors access to
CenterWell’s personalized, care-team approach to healthcare. This
includes one new center with a grand opening celebration Jan. 19,
CenterWell University City, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
CenterWell Senior Primary Care is one of the fastest-growing
senior-focused, value-based care providers in the country. Together
with its sister brand Conviva Care Center, CenterWell Senior
Primary Care delivers care to seniors in more than 220 centers
across 11 states, with plans to open 30-50 new centers per year
through 2025. Two additional locations in the Charlotte area,
CenterWell Wilkinson and CenterWell Wendover, will open this
year.
“The city of Charlotte has been working to improve support,
accessibility and engagement opportunities for senior citizens, and
CenterWell Senior Primary Care centers are built to support those
same initiatives,” said Tiffany Roberts, CenterWell’s North
Carolina market president. “We focus on underserved communities and
bring a new level of access to quality, coordinated care. With the
Charlotte 65+ community expected to grow by more than 100,000 in
the next decade, we know the demand for quality care will only
increase. I feel confident our centers will enhance the lives of
Charlotte’s senior citizens.”
The three centers in Charlotte will be the latest, in addition
to the nearby center in Gastonia. Dr. Amir Ansari, who cares for
patients at the CenterWell Senior Primary Care center in Gastonia,
said CenterWell’s holistic, value-based and outcomes-oriented
approach with attention on the social determinants of health sets
it apart from other providers. Taking care of patients means taking
care of their medical needs and other factors that contribute to
their health. CenterWell believes in providing not only the
standards of care but also the standards of caring.
“Health behaviors, a patient’s physical environment, and social
factors affect their overall health,” Ansari said. “Here in
Gastonia, our social worker and behavioral health specialist can
help address transportation, food insecurities and housing needs
with our patients. We also have an in-house pharmacist to help them
understand their medications and answer any questions they
have.”
Ansari said patients in the Charlotte centers will be able to
consult with the Gastonia pharmacist and have their medications
mailed to them from CenterWell Pharmacy, if they choose.
As part of CenterWell Senior Primary Care’s arrival in Charlotte
and commitment to improving the lives of seniors in the community,
the company gave $20,000 to The Shepherd’s Center of Charlotte, a
nonprofit that provides a network of support for the senior
community to increase social connection, expand access to critical
resources and combat the negative effects of isolation.
All new CenterWell Senior Primary Care locations in North
Carolina will be staffed by board-certified physicians, nurses and
behavioral health specialists, and patients will also have access
to clinical pharmacists and social workers who have been specially
trained to treat the senior population. In addition to their
healthcare offerings, CenterWell facilities include activity
centers for local seniors.
CenterWell University City began seeing patients this month and
expects to begin seeing a full spectrum of patients as the year
progresses, according to Ansari. An additional center is set to
open later this year in the Wendover area. Center locations
are:
CenterWell University City 8727 JW Clay Blvd Charlotte,
NC 28262 (Grand opening Jan. 19, 2023)
CenterWell Wilkinson 3512 Wilkinson Blvd, Suite 130
Charlotte, NC 28028 (Grand opening Jan. 26, 2023)
CenterWell Wendover 901 North Wendover Road Charlotte, NC
