A PentaHealth Practice
Mount Airy Family Practice is a PentaHealth Practice
Mount Airy Family Practice is pleased to announce that we are partnering with other physician-run practices in the Philadelphia region to bring you the best care possible.
PentaHealth, a medical group founded in 2020, brings together medical practices that share a common goal of providing personalized, primary care to people. By connecting independent practices, PentaHealth supports what makes each practice unique, and helps them navigate administrative issues such as working with medical insurance companies. This means that our medical providers and staff will have more time to spend with you, our patients.
Mount Airy Family Practice is remaining a physician-run and physician-owned medical practice, just as we have been since 1989. PentaHealth is not a health system: Your care is not being spread across to other PentaHealth group members.
Our goal is to make this change as smooth as possible for you, our patients. You will not experience any change in how you receive care. Your doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, and staff, who you have come to know and trust, will continue to care for you. Our office hours and patient portal will stay the same as well. In the future, you will begin seeing the PentaHealth name alongside our logo, on office documents such as invoices, and on our website.
As we move forward as a PentaHealth practice, we are committed to staying true to the values that built Mount Airy Family Practice. We will continue to deliver you the high-quality health care you deserve.
