The Center for Team Care “Caring for Those Who Care for Others”

Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and VCU Health System are embarking on an inaugural Employee Health Clinic initiative through the Center for Team Care. Through this innovative, team-based community model of care, our employees and their dependents will have immediate access to primary and episodic care with providers conveniently located adjacent to their work sites and in the community where they live. We believe that by providing care for those who care for others our Health System will be able to model what care delivery should look like for health care workers and their families.

Through an innovative patient-centered, team-based model of primary and episodic care the vision is to create a true triple aim win for employees and their dependents.

We aim to deliver excellent care with a high tech, high touch approach focused on timely and easy access, seamless coordination of care across the system, and an emphasis on providing the right support at the right time to improve the overall lives of our fellow team members and their families.
