Hartford HealthCare has opened a facility in Fairfield designed to offer coordinated care for men.
The Tallwood Men”™s Health at 1262 Post Road is designed to offer men access to a coordinated system of specialists and primary care providers. According to Hartford HealthCare, the central focus of the new location is a men”™s health nurse navigator who helps connect patients with needed providers and creates a personalized care plan based on their individual needs ”“ including cardiology, urology, behavioral health, digestive health, and medical and surgical weight loss.
“Many men don”™t like going to the doctor. The mentality is if it”™s not broke, why fix it?” said Dr. Keith O”™Brien, chief of urology at St. Vincent”™s Medical Center in Bridgeport and medical director for the Tallwood Urology and Kidney Institute in Fairfield County. “The concept of Tallwood Men”™s Health is to co-locate different specialists under the same roof to help patients make connections to providers which creates better outcomes for patients.”
