The clinic will offer comprehensive primary care services, flexible scheduling, more face time with physicians, transportation to office visits, insurance education, community wellness events and a care coordination team.
“By shifting focus toward quality of care instead of volume of services, there has been a meaningful improvement in reducing hospital admissions and emergency room visits,” said Mike Pykosz, CEO and co-founder of Oak Street Health. “We know Advocate Aurora Health shares that vision, and as a national leader in population health, is the right partner to expand our services in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.”
The clinic is set to open in April.
