11 Feb Hope Street Group Health Care Advisors in the News
Recently, two of our key advisors have been featured in the media due to their success in providing direct health care services using both innovative and underutilized methods.
A recent New Yorker article by Atul Gawande highlights one of our advisors and panelists for the primary care event, Rushika Fernandopulle, MD. His practice in Atlantic City, New Jersey recruits and trains frontline health workers to serve the functions of both health coaches and medical assistants for 1,200 patients with multiple chronic illnesses.
The New York Times just featured advisor Tom Lee, MD as one of the pioneers of affordable concierge practices in the country. Lee, also a co-founder of Epocrates, has been able to extend visit times, engage in email communication and additional services provided by personalized “concierge” medical practices, but at a much lower price: $150 to $200 a year.
