Patient First History

Since opening our first medical center in 1981, Patient First's vision remains the same: making access to quality medical care as convenient and cost-effective as possible. To achieve this objective, we have adopted and continue to embrace many innovative operating systems and practices.

These innovations, along with sophisticated, automated registration and treatment systems and our commitment to an excellent medical staff and quality of care have been widely accepted, allowing Patient First to expand considerably over the years. Patient First now offers both primary and urgent care services and participates in most insurance plans. We also provide a broad range of Occupational Health services. There are currently 79 Patient First centers in the mid-Atlantic region.
