Vera Whole Health and Anthem Enhance Primary Care Access in Atlanta with New Care Center

Expansion of Advanced Primary Care Access in Atlanta



Vera Whole Health, in collaboration with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia, has opened its fifth advanced primary care center in the Atlanta area, situated in East Point. This initiative is a significant step towards enhancing health care access for Anthem members, particularly those in Fulton County, the City of Atlanta, and MARTA. The new facility is designed to provide high-quality care tailored to community needs.

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony



On March 14, 2025, leaders from Vera Whole Health and Anthem, alongside Fulton County Commissioner Chairman Robb Pitts and representatives from MARTA, attended a ribbon cutting ceremony at the new clinic located at 3360 Shelby Ln, East Point, Georgia. This marks the fifth care center launched by Vera Whole Health in partnership with Anthem over the past year. The addition of this center exemplifies their shared commitment to addressing the healthcare needs of the local population, reinforcing the belief that improved healthcare delivery leads to better health outcomes.

Integrating Care into the Anthem Benefits Ecosystem



Building on the success of existing centers in the region, the new facility is integrated into the Anthem benefits ecosystem. Anthem members with commercial employer-based and Health Insurance Exchange plans can expect a comprehensive primary care experience aimed at optimizing health results while lowering overall healthcare expenses.

Robert Teas, Regional VP of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia, emphasized, "Our collaboration with Vera Whole Health underscores our commitment to providing our members with personalized, high-value healthcare solutions. We are thrilled to expand access to quality care and improve health outcomes for our communities."

Addressing Health Disparities



Chairman Robb Pitts highlighted existing health disparities within the county, stating, "There is a problem of health disparities and outcomes in the area that we must collectively come together to solve... The opening of this latest Vera Whole Health care center will provide better healthcare and outcomes by focusing on whole-person, preventive care and an enhanced healthcare experience."

The Advanced Primary Care Model



Vera Whole Health's advanced primary care model amalgamates preventive care, condition management, and holistic approaches to support members throughout their health journeys. The center ensures members have access to extended appointment availability, same or next-day service, and a blend of in-person and virtual care options to promote timely interventions and improved health outcomes.

Dr. Kevin Wang, Chief Medical Officer of Vera Whole Health, remarked, "The addition of our fifth center marks a significant milestone in our mission to innovate healthcare delivery. We are committed to improving patient experiences, ensuring better access to care, and focusing on holistic and preventive care, enhancing the well-being of our members."

Expanding the Vera Whole Health Footprint



With existing centers located in Decatur, Duluth, Lawrenceville, and West Marietta, the East Point facility further solidifies Vera Whole Health's presence in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Their continued expansion reflects a dedication to providing exceptional healthcare solutions that prioritize community health and well-being.
