One Medical – Delivering High-Quality, Accessible Primary Health Care Services

thesiliconreview-amir-dan-rubin-ceo-one-medical-22.jpg

Primary health care refers to the essential health care made accessible to individuals in a community at costs that they can afford. The World Health Organization (WHO) put forward the concept of primary health care that focuses more on the importance of community participation by identifying some of the social, economic, and environmental determinants. It includes the basic services required for meeting one’s everyday health care needs like conducting a regular checkup with the family doctor or visiting low income health clinics,

One Medical is a membership-based primary care practice on a mission to make getting quality care more affordable, accessible, and enjoyable for all through a blend of human-centered design, technology, and an exceptional team. Their members enjoy seamless access to comprehensive care at calming offices near where they work, live, and shop in twelve major U.S. markets, as well as 24/7 access to virtual care. In addition to a direct-to-consumer membership model, they work with more than 8,000 companies to provide One Medical health benefits to their employees.

One Medical’s member experience is powered by intelligent uses of technology, including a mobile app that helps schedule appointments, renew prescriptions, and message with a provider. Consistent, quality care is ensured through up-to-date digital health records and with proactive digital health reminders. Started by some of the best-trained physicians in the country, One Medical attracts the highest-caliber team of leadership and healthcare providers. This allows us to practice medicine the way it should be practiced, focusing on improving the patient experience, and challenging the healthcare status quo.

Proving Industry-Leading Healthcare Solutions

Wellness and prevention: At One Medical, their highest goal is to help you reach and maintain your optimal state of health, no matter where you are in life. They start with a deep dive into all that makes you: your lifestyle, genetic background, and personal goals — however modest or ambitious they may be. With this holistic perspective, they will guide you toward the right screening tests, preventive treatments, and lifestyle tweaks to maximize your happiness and longevity. And will coach you and keep you on track every step of the way.

LGBTQ care: One Medical is proud to offer comprehensive, culturally-competent care to their diverse community of members. Whether you're specifically looking for a lesbian or gay doctor, or a provider who has extensive experience in LGBTQ care, they can address all your health concerns with sensitivity and compassion in a judgment-free environment. They will ask your preferred pronouns, and let you lead the discussion around personal topics related to your health at your first wellness visit.

While all of their providers are qualified to provide quality, unbiased care, certain providers have special training and experience in managing transgender care. This means that in addition to making sure you feel safe and understood, these providers have additional expertise around hormone management, surgical referrals, and interpreting lab results. When making your first appointment, ask which providers in your area are experts in transgender health.

Women’s Health: The firm is deeply experienced in women's health and can provide many of the same services as your gynecologist, so they can help you reduce the number of doctors you see for routine issues. They are your home base for everything from contraceptive counseling and prescriptions (including insertion of IUDs and other long-acting methods) to cancer screening (including Pap tests), breast health, sexual health, pregnancy, and more.

Men’s Health: From prostate health to screening for cardiovascular risk, they will help you be your healthiest, happiest self. One Medical can take care of many lifestyle concerns — from exercise and nutrition advice to medication for hair loss and erectile dysfunction — and always with an eye on the big picture of your health.

Urgent Care: Health emergencies happen, but they don’t always require an expensive, time-consuming visit to the ER or urgent care. Whether you’ve got COVID-19 symptoms, a weird rash, a sprained ankle, or something else, they’re here to help when you need it — in person or 24/7 virtually. Their Cobble Hill, Murray Hill, and Duboce Triangle expanded care offices are open from 8am to 9pm seven days a week so you can get care for urgent or acute issues.
