TAPM opens medical office at the IRC

Posted on March 21, 2013 by

Triad Adult and Pediatric Medicine’s medical office located at the Interactive Resource Center in Greensboro opened on Tuesday, March 19, 2013. The two room suite is staffed by Linda Bernhardt, Nurse Practitioner and Tamira Pride, Certified Medical Assistant. The offices will be open Tuesdays and Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The medical services provided at TAPM—IRC are for homeless individuals who are uninsured (potential patients must meet eligibility criteria before services can be rendered).

Grant funding for this project was awarded to Triad Adult and Pediatric Medicine, Inc. from the Cone Health Foundation.

This meaningful project was made possible through the hard work and collaboration with the staff of the Interactive Resource Center and the Cone Health Congregational Nurse Program. This partnership will enhance health care access for those in Greensboro who are experiencing homelessness.

Triad Adult and Pediatric Medicine, Inc. includes practice locations in Greensboro and High Point, North Carolina, providing care to 37,000 children and 15,000 adults with more than 90,000 visits annually at the organization’s medical offices. The majority of the children and adults served by Triad Adult and Pediatric Medicine Inc. have annual incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty level.

The IRC warmly welcomes TAPM’s new offices and we are ready to get to work!
