To continuously evolve, applying leading edge innovation, and placing our patients' needs first and foremost at every level of Affinity Healthcare. We are dedicated to delivering unique, high quality, and convenient healthcare services based on this patient-focused approach.
The physicians chose the "Affinity Healthcare" name because it stands for dedication to developing close connections with patients to maintain their health, with the community to create an environment that enhances quality of life, and with healthcare co-workers and colleagues who a share patient-focused approach..
According to Affinity Healthcare's Chief Executive Officer, Michael Hartke, "Our vision for Affinity Healthcare will be achieved by applying the highest standards of healthcare quality and patient service, and continuously adding convenient new healthcare services, aligned with our patient-focused mission."
One example of this theory in action is the opening of Affinity Healthcare's Immediate Care center, located at 1051 W. Rand Road in Arlington Heights. This center is open 7 days a week, including holidays, with the exception of Christmas Day. Both established and non-affiliated patients of Affinity Healthcare have the opportunity to receive high quality walk-in care, at their convenience, for treatment of non-life threatening illnesses, as well as routine follow-up office visits for chronic conditions, physicals, and occupational health exams.
Mr. Hartke explains, "Internal Medicine physicians with extensive experience treating patients in the Immediate Care setting will see patients for the same cost and insurance co-payment as a primary care office visit, and we will submit claims for patients. To ensure quality and continuity of care, we will either provide information regarding the patient's visit directly to their Affinity Healthcare physician, or to the patient to give to their physician outside of Affinity Healthcare, for inclusion in the patient's medical record."
