We are looking forward to Jan. 1, 2022, for a number of reasons, including the start of the new partnership with Broadlawns Medical Center. If you have not sought care from Broadlawns in the past, they support an impressively long list of specialty areas, clinics, and services. Below are just a few examples:
Virtual Care Visits: Broadlawns providers from primary care, mental health, and many specialty clinics are now offering virtual care services. Virtual care provides a safe and convenient way for you to access care through your existing provider or to establish care with a new health care provider. During your virtual care visit, Broadlawns providers can review your medical history, discuss any chronic diseases, medications, acute concerns, symptoms of illness, mental health, and prevention. Learn more about Broadlawns virtual care visits here.
Primary Care Clinic: Broadlawns Primary Care Clinic provides comprehensive individual and family health care to meet your needs. Broadlawns focuses on developing long-term relationships between patients and providers. Board-certified family medicine physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners deliver acute, chronic, and preventive care services. The clinic provides a permanent medical home for family members of all ages to see the same doctor on a continuing basis. Learn more and meet Broadlawns primary care providers here.
Psychiatric Urgent Care: The Broadlawns Psychiatric Urgent Care accepts walk-in appointments for individuals 18 years of age or older who are experiencing a mental health crisis. The psychiatric Urgent Care is staffed with psychiatric nurse practitioners, licensed therapists, nursing staff, service coordinators, and psychiatric technicians. The Psychiatric Urgent Care is located on Broadlawns’ Main Campus, Center Building, First Floor, 1801 Hickman Road. As noted above, Broadlawns also offers psychiatric urgent care virtual visits. Learn more about Broadlawns psychiatric in-person and virtual visits here.
Maternity Care: Broadlawns offers an experienced and compassionate team to help you welcome your newest addition. Your OB/GYN or midwife also serve in the Broadlawns Birthing Center, ensuring continuity of care. Broadlawns new Birthing Center, completed in August 2020, offers single room maternity care where women can labor, deliver and recover—with their new baby—all in the same comfortable, private suite. Learn more and check out photos of the new Broadlawns Birthing Center here.
More information about the partnership with Broadlawns Medical Center, including special pricing for employees and dependents on Drake’s Health Plan, will be shared during the annual open enrollment period, which starts this coming Monday. Please monitor all open enrollment communications throughout the month of November.
