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."
