Being a best place to work is a top strategic priority at UVA Health, and one I take seriously. To be our best at taking care of patients, we must also prioritize our own health too.
We know that finding a primary care provider can be a challenge, especially for our newer team members. That's why I’m very excited to announce the opening of UVA Health Employee Primary Care!
Here's what you need to know:
The clinic is open five days a week, Monday through Friday, and offers primary care services, including same-day appointments, for UVA and UVA Health team members covered by the UVA Health Plan (Aetna all tiers). Conveniently located on the third floor of the Collins Wing in the West Complex (Suite 3400), the clinic is staffed by an expert team of physicians and APPs and will continue to evolve in the coming months. For ease of scheduling, online appointments are available through MyChart or by calling 434.297.4082.
The clinic aims to enhance access to convenient, quality, comprehensive healthcare, including:
- Preventative care and wellness visits (100% covered by UVA Health plan)
- Treatment of illnesses and mild injuries (including same-day appointments)
- Immunizations
- Lab testing and point-of-care testing (strep, flu, Covid, etc.)
- Chronic disease management (diabetes, heart disease, etc.)
This clinic is one of many options available to UVA and UVA Health team members. If you are not sure where to be seen for a healthcare need, you can review the Employee Clinics Comparison Chart for guidance.
With the help of your feedback from the FY22 employee engagement survey, this clinic is a significant investment in our efforts to make our world-class healthcare more accessible to our local team members. I especially want to thank the amazing planning team that worked hard to bring this clinic to reality.
Just as you make a difference every day, we want to make a difference for you by investing in your access to convenient and first-rate primary care right here at UVA Health.
Thank you to the team that made all of this possible!
Take care and be well,
Wendy
