The New Practice

This new practice includes daily access to geriatrics clinicians, a 24/7/365 nurse-call system with access to community paramedicine support, same-day availability for appointments, transportation through Uber Health, eligibility for enrollment in Integra’s additional ACO programs, and more.

This practice will allow us to provide care specifically designed to address the issues older adults may face at this time in their lives, both clinically and nontraditionally. We are excited to offer these services and provide targeted care that will better serve the older adult community,” said James Fanale, MD, president, and CEO of Care New England.

As part of this new program, a community room has also been outfitted within the practice and will offer nontraditional services to support health and wellness, as well as programming to support those with chronic illnesses.

Examples of offerings include exercise classes, fall prevention and recovery workshops, group visits for certain conditions or for education, patient and caregiver education, nutritional programs, and more.

Geriatric medicine outpatient consultations are also available through the CNEMG Geriatric Medicine Consult Practice now located at the new primary care office.
