New senior-focused centers will be the first of
their kind in the states
Partners in Primary Care (Partners) is bringing innovative,
senior-focused primary care to Kansas and Missouri with four
medical centers planned to open next month.
Partners facilities will allow patients to receive many of their
primary care needs, such as physician services, treatment,
diagnostic testing, basic laboratory services and immunizations,
conveniently in one location.
Each center will be staffed by board-certified physicians and
care teams who have been specially trained to treat the senior
population. These new centers will specialize in serving patients
with Medicare Advantage. While some doctor’s offices may be
limiting the number of Medicare Advantage patients they see,
Partners is focused on this demographic and hopes to attract
patients who may be feeling unsatisfied or underserved in their
current situation.
Partners will work with patients and their families to provide
support, remind patients of screenings and exams, thoroughly
explain medical information and advocate for patients when
communicating with specialists, hospitals and Medicare plans.
To improve medication adherence and streamline the communication
process between doctors and patients, three of the four centers
will have a retail pharmacy located within the clinic location. The
pharmacy aims to provide Medicare Advantage and senior-patients
with clinical support in the same building as their physician’s
office.
In addition, each center will feature an activity center
offering health education classes, fitness demonstrations and
various activities.
The four centers—which will open in October—will be located
in:
- Independence: 19401 East 39th Street
South, Independence, MO 64057
- Wyandotte: 7527 State Ave, Kansas City,
KS 66112
- Mid-Town Kansas City: 301 E Armour
Boulevard, Suite 2 East, Kansas City MO 64111
- Olathe: 16575 W. 119th Street, Olathe,
KS 66061
“The local community is in need of compassionate and
personalized quality medical care that meets the needs and
priorities of recipients of Medicare Advantage and the health care
of seniors,” said Sue Lamb, Market Vice President of Partners in
Primary Care. “We’re delighted to bring our innovative services to
the Missouri and Kansas senior communities.”
The number of seniors in Missouri is expected to grow over the
next several years to exceed 20 percent of the state’s population
by 2030.1 The senior population in Kansas also continues to grow,
and the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that nearly 25 percent of the
population in Kansas will be over the age of 60 by 2030.2
To meet the rising need for health care delivery for residents,
Partners has hired more than 100 employees in Kansas and Missouri
to staff its four new innovative primary care centers. Partners is
part of a larger family of primary care centers with more than 60
locations in Florida, South Carolina and Texas, along with another
center scheduled to open in North Carolina later this fall. All
Partners facilities specialize in offering services to recipients
of Medicare Advantage.
