When someone relocates they often seek information about physicians, specialists, hospitals and other types of health care, such as extended care. Is there a resource in New Port Richey for health care information?
New Port Richey, Florida has a hospital. New Port Richey has many medical professionals operating in a variety of specialties. Fundamental healthcare begins with an individual or family?s access to a general physician, call it a family doctor or for children, a Pediatrician and for women a Gynecologist. Certainly, for people like me, a good therapist; better yet, a Psychiatrist! But why is it that someone in New Port Richey, Florida cannot locate a physician that will take new patients?
CityBlog New Port Richey, was struck by the frustration that was apparent in Susie Pena’s (a New Port Richey, Florida resident) post on May 9, 2007, which read as follows:
I have been here 1 year this June and have yet to find a doctor that will accept new patients. I am very discouraged that there is no avenue for new residents to find out who is available without a lot of labor intensive efforts.
Does New Port Richey have a physician association or, does the hospital know of new physicians coming into New Port Richey that are looking for new patients? It would behoove all communities to have some centralized service that maintains a list of physicians who can accept patients as either “new†or on a rotating basis until the new resident can establish regular healthcare.
