Can you remember that intense feeling of relief you get when you hear the words “the doctor will see you now?” Whether it’s for an urgent need like an infection, finally getting in to see a specialist or just connecting with your primary care physician, having a doctor you see regularly is essential to good health. Doctors make an impressive impact on the communities they serve.
The health of a community is influenced by the presence of caring and professional health care professionals. Doctors assist in disease prevention and act as advocates for health promotion. Doctors educate and screen patients for health conditions that can be treated if caught early.
West Haven has over 55, 000 people living in Connecticut’s youngest city. These residents need access to high-quality, compassionate care that helps them to find their best possible medical outcome. Here are three ways that PACT doctors and healthcare professionals are having an impact on the community of West Haven.
Doctors See Patients in Urgent Care
Health concerns don’t wait for a convenient time, that’s why there is a need for Urgent Care. Timely and effective health care plans and treatment are necessary for the improved health of every community member.
PACT has recently opened a state-of-the-art Primary Care facility in West Haven, CT. Our patients will have access to a dedicated team of healthcare professionals at the new location at 1 Cellini Place, Suite 102. Not only will there be access to your primary care giver for routine appointments, but PACT has established same-day and next-day appointments for non-emergent situations.
Doctors See Patients in Primary Care Settings
The first step for each patient is to connect with a doctor at the primary care facility. At the primary care facility, you get to experience the quality, personalized care and service that you have come to expect from a private practice physician. But you also have access to the resources of a much larger organization.
The new PACT Primary Care Facility will continue to provide current and new patients with state-wide primary and specialty providers. With more than 50 board-certified physicians, PACT is committed to meeting the needs of each patient with excellence.
Doctors Connect Patients with Other Providers
The primary care providers are the cornerstone of the care that PACT-Hartford HealthCare offers. These are the doctors that you see when you have a health concern. In addition to primary care, you have access to specialists in internal medicine, general surgery, dermatology, rheumatology, nephrology, and gastroenterology. Under the PACT-Harford HealthCare umbrella, your primary care physician can refer you seamlessly to these other practitioners.
A modern healthcare facility, such as PACT, brings this all together under one organizational umbrella. This coordination of care eliminates high overhead costs and results in better care.

The dedication to these qualities of care allows PACT physicians to report an elevated level of patient satisfaction. Patients that have faith, trust and confidence in their physician’s care allow them to take charge of their health.

PACT can offer each patient:
– Personalized care plans

How PACT Supports Doctors in Making a Difference
PACT-Hartford Healthcare arose out of a desire to recapture the personal, honest and lasting connection between a physician and their patient. To help you no longer be just a case number or a medical diagnosis. Better health outcomes become possible with personalized care that eliminates the stress of feeling like just another number in a major corporation.
The multi-specialty group of private practitioners are dedicated to retaining and protecting their individual culture and community connections. When your provider is part of PACT-Hartford HealthCare, you go to the same building, you see the same people and you get the same personal care. But now your provider can do away with the mindless hours of back-office inefficiencies, billing, and technology support.
And you and your provider have seamless access to all the other PACT-Hartford HealthCare practitioners. Without the headache of setting up a new health records system or having to deal with your insurance billing department again.
Not just anyone is part of the PACT-Hartford care team. All the over 50 physician members go through an in-depth evaluation to make sure that they meet our high levels of quality care and professionalism.
