For many, Forward Health introduced a fresh approach to primary care, offering innovative services that aimed to shift emphasis towards prevention and improve the patient experience . Now, with their recent unexpected closure, their members are left wondering, "What’s next?" While transitions like these are undoubtedly unsettling they also present a valuable opportunity to reset and explore other solutions that offer – more personalized attention, more proactive care, and more ways to truly optimize your health.

At The Lanby, we believe that primary care should extend beyond sick care—it should serve as the proactive engine that powers your health transformation. With advanced diagnostics, a multidisciplinary Care Team, and wellness plans personalized to your unique needs, we’re here to provide the high touch, innovative care Forward Health members want.

Understanding the Importance of Continuity in Primary Care

Continuity of care is essential for maintaining your health and being proactive. A primary care provider who understands your medical history, lifestyle, and goals can provide more effective treatments and personalized strategies for sustained success. Modern, functional, and relationship-driven primary care ensures:

  • Consistent health monitoring and preventative care.
  • Streamlined communication for easy access to your provider.
  • A holistic approach to managing chronic conditions and achieving long-term wellness goals.

As you explore alternatives to Forward Health, prioritizing a provider with these qualities can ensure your healthcare remains seamless and supportive.
