New 65+ Primary Care Clinic in Sarasota Raising The Standard For Healthcare

Patient-Focused Health Network, VIPcare, Opens New Primary Care Clinic to Provide Better Health to the Medicare Advantage Community in Sarasota

TAMPA, Fla., April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- VIPcare, a patient-focused primary care network based in Florida, is excited to be teaming up with Dr. Joseph Sassano for Better Health with the opening of VIPcare's new local clinic in Sarasota on S. Tamiami Trail. 

Dr. Sassano has been a long-time practicing provider in Sarasota and will be the primary care physician at VIPcare's newest location. He is board-certified in family medicine and brings extensive clinical experience in providing care to the residents of Sarasota. He is also the president of the Florida Osteopathic Medical Society District 7, which includes Sarasota and Manatee counties.

VIPcare is excited to be partnering with Dr. Sassano, and together they look forward to transforming primary care and offering quality healthcare to Medicare beneficiaries.

With the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on community health resulting in a national epidemic of delayed health screenings and worsened chronic conditions, VIPcare has adapted to the risks and has remained committed to delivering the first line of care in communities. In addition, they have successfully and safely maintained continuity of care to their patients with both preventive and routine care. 

"I'm excited to be starting this new chapter in my life with VIPcare," Dr. Sassano of VIPcare Sarasota said. "It's rewarding to be able to open the doors to a new state-of-the-art facility and be able to continue to help the Medicare Advantage population in the area get the guidance and care they deserve. I'm excited to see new and current patients and provide them with quality preventative care with the support of VIPcare."

VIPcare uses a model that puts quality time spent between a doctor and patient at the forefront. By spending more time with the physician, VIPcare believes patients will get more thorough diagnoses and treatments, leading to a better quality of life and less time spent in the hospital.

Unlike other healthcare providers, VIPcare encourages patients to see their physicians often where highly specialized care is created just for them and their specific needs. 

In efforts to guide patients to Better Health, VIPcare helps to eliminate potential health care burdens by offering services including same-day appointments, transportation assistance to and from clinics, and virtual visits when needed. VIPcare physicians are dedicated to always doing what needs to be done to provide a better experience and the highest quality of care to their patients. They believe in quality, not quantity. 

VIPcare primary care physicians walk side-by-side with their patients, providing them with access to comprehensive health care services, which allows them to take a proactive role in their health care journey. 

The new VIPcare clinic, located at 8620 S. Tamiami Trail, Ste. F & G, Sarasota, FL, is now accepting patients who receive Medicare Advantage plan benefits. Those interested can call the office at 941-842-0718 or visit www.getvipcare.com to learn more.
