About Shared Medical Appointments

Sharing your concerns with your caregiver and others can give you the knowledge, support and motivation needed to live a healthier, longer life. That’s why we’re proud to offer you and those you love access to shared medical appointments.

A shared medical appointment allows you to spend additional time with your provider and other patients with similar health conditions. The goal is to provide you with appointments more quickly, with more time for questions and the best in medical care—all in a relaxed, friendly and informative setting. Shared medical appointments benefit you by:

• Providing you with appointments more quickly
• Giving you more time with your health care provider
• Allowing you to change or refill prescriptions, schedule and discuss medical tests, and/or have your immunizations updated
• Enabling you to receive tips or learn from patients with the same chronic illness
• Knowing you’re not alone--you have people in your corner who understand what you’re facing

Shared medical appointments are currently available for annual physicals, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), well-baby checks and pediatric asthma.
