Gather Health Primary Care

Gather Health Primary Care is a new medical practice for older adults on Medicare, with a site in Quincy. It promises that patients will not have to wait to get an appointment and will be listened to and given the time they need, with care delivered where it is needed, whether at home, virtually or at the practice. Each patient is paired with a primary care provider, a Gather Guide and a medical technician.

The practice frames its work as community based, built with input from residents, community organizations and local leaders. Beyond exams and treatment, its centers host classes, events and social gatherings, reflecting the view that its care is more than medical. Physicians and health care leaders with decades of experience founded the company and built teams that represent the communities they serve. Staff also support patients through medical events and back to health.
