Patina Health: Reinventing Primary Care for Older Adults

There is the primary care older adults should receive, and then there is the care they actually receive in the current healthcare system.

On this episode of Honestly Aging by Friends Life Care VigR®, Dr. Neil Patel, Chief Health Officer at Patina, discusses the disparities often experienced between the two and how Patina delivers high-quality care to older adults in new, innovative, and technology-enabled ways.

Patina is a new model of primary care for adults 65+ that reimagines the journey of aging through virtual and home-based care.

Patina is building a healthcare experience for older adults that honors the wisdom they’ve accumulated and how they want to experience aging and care. At Patina, Dr. Neil is part of a crew that will listen, learn, and honors patients’ expertise, helping them be true leaders in their care.

Before joining Patina, Dr. Neil helped found Iora Health, an early innovator in primary care. Before that, he helped start the Atlantic City Special Care Center, serving the most complex and costly patients from the Local 54 hotel workers union with the AtlantiCare health system.
