Physician Leader at Landmark Health in Dallas, TX

The most medically vulnerable patients’ needs are hard to address in today’s fee-for-service system. Care is fragmented and in time-limited slots.

Complex and frail patients living with multiple co-morbidities benefit from additional care that comes to them. Care that is coordinated with their existing doctors and specialists.

Our physician-led teams specialize in house calls to bring medical care to patients where they reside and when they need it. Our multidisciplinary model includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers, dietitians, behavioral health specialists, social workers, nurse care managers and care coordinators.

See the whole picture and treat the whole patient by bringing advanced medical care to patients in their homes.
