The newest trend in health care is a throwback to the early days of medicine — it’s the house call. Austin based WhiteGlove House Call Health is a booming business. WhiteGlove uses nurse practitioner who come to your home or office for routine medical care.
Members say the convenience is a big attraction. Lety Torres is the mother of two toddlers who works full-time at A+ Federal Credit Union, a business that recently joined WhiteGlove. Torres has had a house call twice, once at home and once at work. She says it’s been a big timesaver and she’s been pleased with the care.
“It’s a great service. The fact that you don’t have to get up and get out to go anywhere is great. They get your prescriptions, right on the spot. ”
WhiteGlove is not a cure-all for what ails the nation’s health care system. There are limitations to what it can provide. It won’t take on emergencies or potential emergency medical situations and it won’t see patients under two years old. But what it does provide is another option in the complicated world of health care delivery. It’s an option that’s appealing to some people because it brings medical care directly to your doorstep.
