United States, Friday, 10 January 2025.
Privia Health has introduced a virtual care model to improve healthcare access via telemedicine at practices like Pantops Family Medicine and Fox & Brantley Internal Medicine.

Comprehensive Virtual Care Implementation

Privia Health’s latest virtual care initiative includes a robust 24/7 Virtual Urgent Care service through its network of medical practices [1]. The implementation spans multiple locations, with Fox & Brantley Internal Medicine and Pantops Family Medicine serving as key providers in this digital healthcare transformation [1][2]. This expansion demonstrates Privia’s commitment to making healthcare more accessible, offering services ranging from preventive care to chronic condition management [1].

Geographic Reach and Provider Network

The healthcare network’s expansion is particularly evident in key metropolitan areas, with [3] 140 medical providers within 25 miles of Olney, MD, and [4] 217 providers serving the Gaithersburg region. Multiple practices have integrated the virtual care model, including specialized facilities like Charlottesville Integrated Psychiatry [6], showcasing the versatility of the digital healthcare platform across different medical specialties.

Extended Hours and Accessibility

As part of the enhanced access initiative, participating practices have implemented extended operating hours. For instance, Lifetime Family Medicine, which joined the virtual care network, recently updated its schedule effective January 6, 2025, operating Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, and Saturdays from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm [8]. This expansion of service hours, combined with virtual care capabilities, significantly improves healthcare accessibility for patients requiring both routine and urgent medical attention.

Integration of Services

The virtual care model encompasses various healthcare services, including preventive care, acute symptom management, and ongoing chronic condition monitoring [1]. Privia Health has ensured that the virtual platform maintains the same quality standards as in-person visits, while offering the convenience of remote consultations. The system allows patients to connect with their regular healthcare providers or access other Privia physicians through their virtual clinic platform [5], creating a seamless healthcare delivery experience.
