The Home Based Primary Care group (HBPC) (formerly known as House Calls, est. 1984) consists of interdisciplinary teams (MD, NP, RN, SW, pharmacy support) that provide primary care for patients who find it challenging to leave the home to be seen in clinic.  The HBPC team is composed of two teams, one North and one South, with an MD and a combination of APPs covering each team.

  • Home Based Primary Care (HBPC) dramatically improves health outcomes and the quality of life for homebound patients and their caregivers.
  • Providing ongoing in-home care to frail, medically complex individuals also reduces the overall cost of care by reducing unnecessary emergency room visits and hospitalizations.

A key goal of the program is to provide services for the individual patient in their place of residence so that dignity is maintained, comfort and rehabilitation potential is maximized and to provide patients and their families information and education to assist them in adjusting to life-style changes that result from their disease or disability.
