BUNNELL – SMA Healthcare is excited to announce that it will begin offering primary care services in Flagler County. The services will be offered at the Flagler County Health Department, located at 301 Dr. Carter Blvd, Bunnell, and are expected to begin in April.
This collaboration with the Flagler County Health Department will help establish strategies for more efficient resource utilization, data sharing to leverage each organization’s expertise, and enhance population health management for the residents of Flagler County.
“The purpose of SMA’s expansion of primary care services is to provide greater healthcare access for citizens in the community,” said SMA Healthcare CEO Ivan Cosimi. “It is our mission to provide exceptional substance abuse, mental health, and primary care services, and this expansion will open another door for individuals to receive quality care.”
While serving all ages, this new clinic will include access to a primary care provider that performs health assessments to diagnosis and treatment. SMA Healthcare’s Primary Care will also collaborate with other community partners to provide OB-GYN services, dental services, chiropractic care, smoking cessation and marketplace options.
Flagler County has been designated by HRSA as an underserved area for Primary Care. This clinic will help serve the vulnerable populations who are uninsured or underinsured. While providing limited point of care testing, patient education and case management, this clinic will also later add a pharmacy delivery program.
SMA Healthcare currently operates out of two facilities in Flagler County, both in Bunnell. The Flagler Access Center is at 103 E. Moody Blvd, and the outpatient services and Women Assisting Recovering Mothers (WARM), a women’s residential program, are located at 301 Justice Lane.
