                           Med-Ready Healthcare Launches Med-Ready House Calls

ROSEVILLE, CALIFORNIA—Med-Ready Healthcare announces the launch of a new division--we are bringing back doctor house calls.  The first of its kind in the Sacramento region, Med-Ready House Calls is an innovative program that combines modern medicine with old fashioned service.  

In today’s healthcare climate the majority of office, hospital, or clinic-based physicians are inundated with difficult and overcrowded work schedules.  For the patient, this translates into increased wait times to see a physician, or expensive emergency room visits for non-urgent medical problems when they cannot see their primary care physician.  
“Emergency rooms are so overcrowded that patients are waiting several hours to be seen by a doctor.  Many of these patients do not require emergency medical care but they have nowhere else to turn,” said Ray Guanill, President of Med-Ready Healthcare.  “This program also benefits busy families who would otherwise have to take time off work for a doctor office visit when they or their children fall ill.”

According to the American Academy of Home Care Physicians, an estimated two million elderly nationwide will be chronically homebound by the year 2020.  Treating these individuals in their homes reduces hospitalizations, improves overall health, and eases the burden on families of homebound patients.  Med-Ready House Calls also provides medical services at your place of business, as well as a concierge service for people traveling or visiting the Sacramento region.

In addition to improving healthcare delivery, Med-Ready House Calls has initiated the “Get One, Give One” program.  For every house call visit we make, we will provide one child in our community with a free wellness check-up. Healthy Kids, Healthy Futures wellness fairs will be held throughout the Sacramento region. Thousands of children are uninsured and many don’t get to see doctors for regular check-ups. Together, we can make a difference in the life of a child.
