“We enjoy facilitating events for everyone who walks through our doors,” community outreach executive Vincent Rodriguez said of Oak Street Health’s 10th Philadelphia-based space. “While the demographic consists mainly of older adults, we are here to provide for the health and well-being of adults on Medicare.”
The events make for a great complement to the other care offered at the site including:
- Primary, chronic condition, and wellness/preventive care.
- Immunizations.
- Laboratory and testing services.
The Pennsport location recently added another doctor to the two physicians and nurse practitioner on staff. This team is helping Oak Street Health to spread its mission over 21 states.
“We like spreading the word about who we are because specific, hands-on care drives us,” Rodriguez said. “The calendar events give us an extra push in putting ourselves out there and in growing this community’s overall healthcare options.”
