Village Medical, a leading provider of personalized primary care services in Houston, delivers high-quality primary care and better patient outcomes right in the communities of Houston, with more than 40 locations in the area. Village Medical offers a range of services including comprehensive primary care, coordinated care, care management, and clinical support programs, specializing in primary care for older adults.

“At Village Medical, we believe your relationship with your primary care provider is the foundation to your health,” said Dr. James Geracci, chief medical officer, Village Medical, Houston. “Our doctors and team partner with you to understand your needs, and work together to focus not just on treatment, but also education and preventative care.”

In the Greater Houston area, Village Medical takes a "coordinated care” approach to health, meaning patients receive the time and attention needed from an entire care team who coordinates with the primary care provider. Upon booking an appointment, a dedicated care team will create a Village Medical Stay Well Care Plan. This personalized health and wellness plan will be tailored to each individual’s unique needs and will provide the care team with a holistic view of the patient’s health. Village Medical physicians and advanced practice providers offer a full suite of primary care services, while specializing in supporting older adults in their care. These services can include regular check-ups and annual wellness visits, lab work, illness and injury treatment, and specialist referrals, with emphasis on preventative care, treatment of illness and injury and management of chronic conditions. This coordinated care results in better patient health outcomes, reduced healthcare costs and improved patient experience.
