INCREASING ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE

A message from our Vice President of Practice Administration, Tim Whetstine
Atlantic General Hospital and Health System continues to recruit both primary care providers and needed specialists, which are also in short supply, as part of our mission-driven work to improve the health of the communities we serve. Over the past two years, we have added two primary care physicians, an endocrinologist, a rheumatologist, an orthopedic surgeon and a second urologist to our health system.

We are far from finished. We recognize that our efforts must continue as the provider-to-population ratio swings in the wrong direction and our patients encounter frustration with securing timely appointments -- particularly for primary care.
