How Telehealth Is Transforming Healthcare Access in Underserved Communities
Virtual care is breaking down barriers to healthcare. See how Essen's telehealth program is reaching patients who need it most.
For many of New York City's most vulnerable residents—the elderly, those with severe disabilities, and patients recovering from surgery—traveling to a doctor's office is simply not possible. That's why Essen Health Care launched its House Calls program, one of the largest physician house call programs in the country.
Our team of doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants make regular visits to patients in their homes, providing comprehensive primary care services including physical examinations, chronic disease management, medication adjustments, wound care, blood draws, and urgent care when needed.
The House Calls program isn't just about convenience—it's about better health outcomes. Studies consistently show that homebound patients who receive regular home visits have fewer emergency room visits, fewer hospital admissions, and better management of chronic conditions. Our program has been recognized nationally for its impact on reducing healthcare costs while improving patient satisfaction.
If you or a loved one is homebound and in need of regular medical care, contact Essen Health Care to learn more about our House Calls program. We serve patients throughout the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island.
