Gateway Medical Associates continues to serve the Chester County community

Gateway Medical Associates is Chester County’s largest independent physician practice, and has been serving the community since 1996. Gateway’s 36 physicians and nurse practitioners provide quality care from any of their 9 convenient locations throughout the county.

Gateway’s focus is quality primary and specialty care for all their patients from newborns to geriatrics. Gateway providers work with their patients to involve them in the decisions surrounding all aspects of their health care.

Gateway is at the forefront of using integrated technology to enable the best possible care to their patients. With the implementation of an electronic health record system in 2006, as well as direct interfaces with Main Line Health, Chester County Hospital, Brandywine Hospital, Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp, all patient data is immediately accessible. This enables Gateway providers to make more timely decisions regarding their patients’ care, which facilitates Gateway’s approach centering on its patients’ wellbeing and health. With the implementation of the Patient Portal, Gateway patients are able to electronically access Gateway for questions, referrals, prescription refills, records transfers and many other patient requests at anytime.

In addition, Gateway Medical Associates is involved in Quality Care Initiatives that help to monitor and improve patient care including Pennsylvania’s Chronic Care Initiative and the Doctors Office Quality - Information Technology Program.

Gateway takes a special interest in involving patients in their care. Preventative care is an important part of this care especially at this time of year. It is important to take care of yourself and your family during what can be an extremely busy time. Please visit our website or call our office to arrange an appointment to find out what preventative testing you may be eligible for at this time and in the future. Same day appointments are always available.

Flu season is also upon us so please be certain to get vaccinated against the flu this year and every year as recommended to protect yourself and your loved ones.
