A Healthcare Partnership, Empowering Health for a Life Lived Forward
Willow Valley Communities is delighted to announce the opening of IntegrityForward Health Solutions VIA Willow Valley. Located next to Midrise on the Lakes Campus, the new office is led by nurse practitioner Pamela K. Bailey, CRNP, FNP-BC, Willow Valley Communities’ Senior Director of Resident Health & Wellness Services. The practice is staffed with another full-time clinical nurse practitioner, Rebecca “Becky” Poole, CRNP, and a PRN (“as needed”) nurse practitioner. Its services are, or will soon be, available to Willow Valley Communities Residents and SmartLife Members, and to assist newly hired Team Members in their onboarding process.
Enthusiastically explaining the benefits of this new convenience for Residents, Pam says, “IntegrityForward Health Solutions truly embodies Willow Valley Communities’ philosophy of wellness, well-being, and yes, Life Lived Forward, with a mind, body, spirit approach. IntegrityForward will provide primary care for Residents, but more importantly, it will help Residents develop individualized goals towards wellness and prevention.”
She further explains, “We will treat acute illnesses as they occur, but our hope and goal is that we will really get to know someone over time as their primary care provider. We want to have a relationship with them, building their health goals with them and working together towards those goals.”
Pam and the IntegrityForward Health Solutions Team will focus on taking the time needed to build those patient-provider relationships. “Our aim is to give patients quality service,” she says. “We don’t want to hold just 10- or 15-minute appointments. We want to make sure we give people enough time. We are not going to rush.”
Pam adds, “We don’t have a patient quota like other medical offices. I really want the team to feel like they can take the time to listen to the Residents. The main goal is establishing that relationship and that individual plan. We are not a factory.” In addition to in-person appointments, virtual visits may also be utilized to achieve this goal.
