What Do Millennials Want From Their “Medical Home?”

What Do Millennials Want From Their Medical Home? Tampa FLAccording to recent studies, millennials are venturing away from the traditional health care model in droves. Rejecting the concept of “health care as usual,” America’s largest generation values fast and convenient service, transparent pricing, and an immediate connection. They don’t want to have to wait days or weeks for an appointment with a primary care provider—and rightly so. Still, in order to ensure the best possible care, it’s important for everyone, regardless of their age, to establish a trusted “medical home”—a place where they can consistently turn to receive comprehensive health care.

The Evolving Urgent Care Model

At South Tampa Immediate Care in Tampa, Florida, we understand that we need to meet the needs and expectations of all of the patients we serve, including millennials. One way we do so is by taking steps to better accommodate their hectic lifestyles. For instance:

  • We make it possible for new and established patients to receive care on a walk-in basis—no appointment necessary!
  • Our office is open seven days a week during extended hours, providing convenient opportunities for our patients to see a doctor without having to take time off from work or school.
  • We prioritize short wait times, and we’ve established a virtual waiting room that our patients can enter from home (or anywhere else), then receive a text message when it’s time to head to our office.
  • We offer comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for a full range of non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries.
  • As an urgent care center, our copayments are significantly lower than those associated with an emergency room visit.

We Give Our Patients What They Need

Millennials know what they want from a health care provider. Our challenge is to give them what they want and, in the process, also give them what they need to fully protect their health and well-being.
