Vera Whole Health and Anthem Celebrate Expanded Access to Advanced Primary Care with Fifth Atlanta Area Care Center

, /PRNewswire/ -- Vera Whole Health, in partnership with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia, is proud to announce the opening of its fifth advanced primary care center in the Atlanta area, located in East Point. This expansion aims to enhance access to high-quality healthcare for Anthem members, including Fulton County, City of Atlanta and MARTA.

Building upon the success of its existing centers throughout the Atlanta region, this new facility will integrate seamlessly into the Anthem benefits ecosystem. Anthem members enrolled in commercial employer-based and Health Insurance Exchange plans can benefit from a comprehensive primary care experience designed to optimize health outcomes and reduce overall healthcare costs.

"Our collaboration with Vera Whole Health underscores our commitment to providing our members with personalized, high-value healthcare solutions," said Robert Teas, Regional VP of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia. "We look forward to expanding access to quality care and improving health outcomes for the communities we serve."

"There is a problem of health disparities and outcomes in the area that we have to collectively come together to solve," said Chairman Robb Pitts, Board of Commissioners of Fulton County. "I believe the opening of this latest Vera Whole Health care center with Anthem in the county will provide better healthcare and outcomes to the population in the area by focusing on whole-person, preventive care and a better health care experience overall. I hope other employers follow the lead of those on the forefront of this health innovation."

The advanced primary care model offered by Vera Whole Health combines preventative care, condition management and whole-person care to help members wherever they are on their health journey. Members can expect extended appointment availability, same or next-day access and both in-person and virtual care options, to ensure timely interventions and better care outcomes.

"The addition of our fifth center in East Point marks a significant milestone in our mission to reimagine healthcare delivery," said Dr. Kevin Wang, Chief Medical Officer of Vera Whole Health. "We are dedicated to providing a better patient experience, ensuring better access and anchoring on whole-person and preventative care that enhances the health and well-being of our members."

With existing centers in Decatur, Duluth, Lawrenceville, and West Marietta, the new East Point location further expands Vera Whole Health's footprint in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
