NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to
lend support to the growing aging population and reduce overall
healthcare costs, Ambulnz, Inc., d/b/a DocGo, a leading provider of
last-mile mobile health services and integrated medical mobility
solutions that has entered into an agreement to merge with Motion
Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: MOTN), announced it has entered into a
partnership with Visiting Physician Services (VPS), part of the
Visiting Nurse Association Health Group (VNA) in New Jersey. The new collaboration enables
DocGo to provide its rapid, in-home, non-emergency mobile health
services to a larger patient base that now includes VPS' older
adult and homebound patients within the tri-state area.
Visiting Physician Services is the largest geriatric house call
practice in New Jersey whose
mission is to enable patients to stay at home as they age and
improve their quality of life by providing convenient in-home
medical care.
Through this new partnership, DocGo is leveraging its
state-of-the-art Mobile Health model to help VPS patients avoid
hospitalizations and reduce trips to the emergency room. DocGo's
Mobile Health Solutions go beyond traditional telehealth
capabilities, delivering true "last-mile" services with unique
solutions that plug seamlessly into existing care
ecosystems. DocGo provides additional specialty medical
training to its more than 3,500+ medical providers, giving them the
skills necessary to perform more advanced procedures outside of the
typical scope of work for EMTs and paramedics.
"DocGo is closing the gaps in healthcare," said Dr. Mark Merlin, DocGo's Chief Medical Officer.
"This partnership with VPS will not only allow us to provide
faster, non-emergency care to those in need, but also offer a whole
host of new services, filling the market need for rapid safety
assessments in patients' homes."
"As a company, we focus on helping as many people as possible.
The New Jersey VNA/VPS partnership is just the beginning and we're
excited to form partnerships with additional VNA organizations and
home-based primary care practices around the country, and provide
DocGo's high quality and highly affordable healthcare solutions
across our existing and new markets."
Commented Alex Binder, Vice
President of Visiting Physician Services, "We're excited about this
new partnership as we strive to improve the responsiveness to our
most vulnerable patients, helping to keep them comfortably at
home."
DocGo currently operates in 26 U.S. states and the UK and is
licensed to operate in 29 states with 14 additional states pending.
The company offers a range of services and innovative healthcare
solutions which allow for greater coordination between providers at
different stages of treatment or recovery from an injury or
illness.
