“The experienced and dynamic team from Dallas Internal Medicine and Geriatric Specialists aligns with our vision to transform the way primary care is delivered,” said Clive Fields, MD, co-founder and chief medical officer of VillageMD, in a Jan. 19 news release. “They will continue to provide expert care for their patients’ acute needs as well as effectively manage their complex and chronic conditions. We’re thrilled to welcome them to Village Medical.”

Its multibillion-dollar acquisition of primary and urgent care company Summit Health was finalized Jan. 3. It also has an app offering virtual visits and a patent-pending care coordination platform.
