The first center, CenterWell Prairieville, located at 17123
Commerce Centre Drive, is open and accepting new patients. The team
will host a grand opening celebration Wednesday, June 26, from 10
a.m. to 1 p.m. This free community event will include tours of the
center, food, live music, bingo and more. CenterWell Baker will
open later this year.
CenterWell Marrero, located at 5045 LaPalco Blvd., will
celebrate its grand opening July 24, with CenterWell Mid-City
expected to open in August.
CenterWell Senior Primary Care is the largest, fastest-growing
senior-focused, value-based care provider in the country. Together
with its sister brand Conviva Care Center, the businesses make up
Humana’s Primary Care Organization, delivering care to about
318,000 seniors in nearly 300 centers as of March 31, 2024. Centers
are open in 15 states with plans to add 30-50 new centers per year
through 2025.
“We’re thrilled to be opening these four centers this year,”
said James Remetich, CenterWell Market President for Louisiana.
“Our focus on underserved communities means we’re bringing a new
level of access to quality, coordinated care for seniors here.
We’re working to address all the factors that affect their
well-being, and we’re helping them live happier, healthier
lives.”
Kyle Magee, M.D., CenterWell’s Chief Medical Officer for
Louisiana, emphasized the organization’s focus on whole-person
health.
“We feel that to get to know these patients, to interact with
them, and really to get a great outcome from a health care
perspective, you have to look after their physical health, their
emotional health and their social health,” Dr. Magee said.
“Everybody doesn’t have the means to have a hot meal, and you
really can’t expect them to buy medication if it means they can’t
afford food. Many of our seniors are faced with decisions like this
daily. We try to wrap services around them, so patients don’t have
to be put in those situations. Our care team approach works to
alleviate those barriers.”
CenterWell Senior Primary Care locations in Louisiana are
staffed by board-certified physicians, nurse practitioners, medical
assistants and operational support staff, and patients will have
access to nurse care coordinators, behavioral health specialists,
social workers, a clinical pharmacist and referral specialists. The
entire team has been specially trained to treat the senior
population. In addition to its health care offerings, CenterWell
facilities include activity centers open to the entire community,
not just patients.
These four centers join nine other locations across Louisiana. A
new center will also open later this year in Shreveport, bringing
the total number of centers serving seniors in Louisiana to 14 by
year’s end. CenterWell locations in Louisiana accept patients who
have Original Medicare, as well as many Medicare Advantage health
plans. For more information on CenterWell Senior Primary Care,
