One Medical is a membership-based primary care service that operates in several major metropolitan areas across the United States. It is known for its innovative approach to healthcare, integrating technology with traditional medical services to enhance patient experience and accessibility.

History[edit | edit source]

One Medical was founded in 2007 by Tom Lee, a physician with a vision to improve the quality and accessibility of primary care. The company started with a single clinic in San Francisco, California, and has since expanded to multiple locations nationwide.

In 2020, One Medical went public on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol "ONEM." The company has continued to grow, acquiring Iora Health in 2021, which expanded its services to include care for older adults.

Services[edit | edit source]

One Medical offers a range of services designed to make healthcare more convenient and accessible. These include same-day appointments, 24/7 virtual care, and a user-friendly mobile app that allows patients to book appointments, renew prescriptions, and access their medical records.

The company emphasizes a patient-centered approach, with a focus on preventive care and wellness. Members pay an annual fee for access to these services, which are designed to complement traditional health insurance.

Technology Integration[edit | edit source]

One Medical leverages technology to streamline the healthcare experience. Its mobile app and online platform provide patients with easy access to their health information and communication with their healthcare providers. This integration of technology aims to reduce wait times and improve the overall efficiency of care delivery.

Locations[edit | edit source]

One Medical operates clinics in several major cities, including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and Washington, D.C.. Each clinic is designed to provide a welcoming and comfortable environment for patients.
