Together, let's change healthcare and fight the loneliness epidemic with group medical visits

Group Medical Visits (GMVs) have been making meaningful contributions to the health care community, and the research supports this model’s promise for improving health outcomes.  The most notable outcomes have been shown in groups focusing on pregnancy, diabetes care, and chronic pain management.  

GMVs lead to an improved health-related quality of life by providing patients with valuable peer support and connection, more time with clinicians, better access to quality care, and options for managing conditions.  These measures result in better self-efficacy and healthier patients.  With happier and healthier patients, fewer health care expenditures and less utilization of resources, such as emergency room visits and acute care visits.  

The impact is not limited to patient health and satisfaction though! GMVs are a real win-win with improved provider satisfaction, productivity, as well as patient recruitment and retention.  All in all, GMVs are proving to be valuable not only for the lives of patients, but also our clinicians and overall healthcare system. 

ICGMV has been practicing group medical visits in Lawrence, MA for over 25 years and can vouch for these great effects and better health outcomes.  We now want to take what we have learned to the next level, not only protecting our center during this time of uncertainty, but transforming how we provide care in the future. 

It is our mission to continue sharing our experiences and being a leader in training, support, research, and innovation for group models everywhere.  With your help, we can continue to improve health and well-being from afar.
