About Providers Direct
Providing Certified Nurse Practitioner Office &
Homecare In Tucson For Over Ten Years
Providers Direct was started by nurse practitioners who wanted to provide a personal touch to health care that many feel has been lost in our current health care system. We believe the health care provider should take time with the patient. Not a five minute visit that occurred after the patient waited two hours in the waiting room. We believe the medical provider should be directly available to the patient, hence the name Providers Direct.
Our group initially started by providing services to frail and disabled patients in their home. It is very difficult for many to get out to see medical providers. It can easily turns into a day long affair that leaves the patient tired and worn out. Especially in our summer heat outings like this can be dangerous for our patients. So rather than having the home bound patient go the medical provider we go to them.
The nurse practitioners were asked repeatedly to provide medical care to the care givers and family members of our patients. As a result we established a clinic setting for those people who needed primary care but were not home bound. Our clinic has grown to the point where we had to establish our own office. We now provide services in the clinic 5 days a week. After hour and weekend appointments are available by special arrangement. The clinic provides care to adults and children.
