CenterWell Senior Primary Care in Gladstone, Mo., will celebrate its grand opening March 26. This is the first event for the 23 locations across four states where Humana’s primary care brands, CenterWell Senior Primary Care and Conviva Senior Primary Care, are opening centers conveniently located next to Walmart stores.

\nCenterWell Gladstone opened and began accepting new patients late last year. The grand opening is a free community event that will include tours of the center, food, live music, bingo and more.\n<\/p>\n

\nCenterWell Senior Primary Care and its sister brand, Conviva Senior Primary Care, make up Humana\u2019s Primary Care Organization (PCO), the nation\u2019s largest, fastest-growing senior primary care provider. Together they deliver care to approximately 390,000 seniors in more than 340 centers as of Dec. 31, 2024. The organization focuses on bringing quality, affordable, personalized care to seniors primarily in underserved communities.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe\u2019re so excited to bring CenterWell to Gladstone seniors,\u201d said Drew Hare, Market President for Missouri and Kansas. \u201cWe work to help eliminate barriers to care by making a visit to the doctor\u2019s office convenient for the community, and it doesn\u2019t get more convenient than next to a Walmart. Like our other centers, this center is specifically designed for seniors, including dedicated entrances and easy parking. We\u2019re committed to helping our patients lead happier, healthier lives.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nStephanie Ikeme, M.D., CenterWell\u2019s Chief Medical Officer for Missouri and Kansas, emphasized CenterWell\u2019s focus on whole-person health in a value-based care model has shown positive health outcomes<\/a> for seniors.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe newest data show that patients in value-based care models, like ours at CenterWell, see their primary care clinicians 10% more than non-value-based care patients, and this means more preventive care and better health maintenance for our seniors,\u201d Dr. Ikeme said. \u201cAdditionally, those Medicare Advantage patients had 278,000 fewer inpatient admissions in 2023 versus those enrolled in Original Medicare. This holistic care is what we want for our seniors, and we\u2019re so thrilled to have another center open to expand access to our unique care model.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nCenterWell Senior Primary Care centers are staffed by board-certified physicians, nurse practitioners, medical assistants and operational support staff, and patients will have access to nurse care coordinators, behavioral health specialists, social workers, a clinical pharmacist and referral specialists. The entire team has been specially trained to treat the senior population. In addition to its healthcare offerings, CenterWell facilities include activity centers open to the entire community, not just patients.\n<\/p>\n

\nCenterWell locations in Missouri and Kansas accept Original Medicare and a wide range of Medicare Advantage health plans. CenterWell Gladstone joins seven other senior primary care centers in the Kansas City metropolitan area.\n<\/p>\n

\nOther CenterWell and Conviva centers located next to Walmart stores will celebrate grand opening events this year in these metropolitan areas:\n<\/p>\n
