Decades have passed since doctors visited patients at home, but one local physician is bringing house calls back into practice.
Murfreesboro physician, Dr. Jim Garner, has expanded his practice to include house calls for clients of Family Staffing Solutions, Inc. on an exclusive basis, according to company president and CEO Becci Bookner.
“The return of house-call visits by a doctor is welcome and needed by many older people in our community who simply cannot manage the trip to the doctor’s office,” she said. “Clients of our company may now again access the familiar and longtime appreciated service of a doctor’s house calls in the privacy and convenience of their homes.”
Garner is an internal medicine specialist and a lifelong resident of Murfreesboro who has a sincere interest in the health care of community residents, a news release states. He has served in many prominent positions including both the chief of medicine and chief of staff at MTMC, and his philosophy of medical practice combines the foundation of evidence-based knowledge with commonsense and compassion.
“It is our mission to take care of people. The alliance with Family Staffing Solutions will create new and innovative ways to facilitate this mission as the health care climate continues to change and evolve,” said Garner, a graduate of the University of Tennessee Medical School who completed his residency at Pensacola Educational Program.
Bookner added, “Many of our clients who are enjoying the advantages of remaining in their homes, independent, and in charge of their lives have, in the past, had to access their personal physician by traveling to the doctor’s office or to the emergency room.
“Through this strategic partnership with a physician, clients of Family Staffing Solutions can, upon request, now can access Dr. Garner’s staff to provide in-home visits for their primary care medical needs,” she said.
Additionally, Booker said, this new agreement between her company and Garner provides the same level of access to primary medical care as concierge medicine, but without the annual fee.
