Pop-Up Clinics: A Starting Point for Good Primary Care
Despite universal consensus that good primary care is essential to a well-functioning healthcare system, primary care visits in the U.S. are on the decline. One of the biggest reasons for this decline is that going to the doctor is inconvenient. As a result, many people delay going to the doctor until they are very sick which means they aren’t getting the comprehensive care they need.

Inside Eden Health: Meet Annelie, Physician Assistant
Overview | Describe your role in a tweet.
I am a primary care clinician – my first priority is always making sure our patients are getting the best care.
History | When did you join the Eden Health team?
April 2017
Past work life | Where were you before?
I’ve worked in a few different subspecialties in the past including ear, nose, and throat; women’s health; and non-surgical weight management. So far, primary care is my favorite because it requires you to know a lot about every field of medicine.
Purpose | Why did you join Eden?
I have a family member who has been sick my entire life so have observed firsthand how difficult it can be to get good care. I wanted to be the medical provider that people look forward to seeing. At Eden Health, I am enabled to be that person. My patients are always my first priority and I am readily available whenever they reach out.
Work highlights | What do you love most about your job?
So many things! I love how much time I am given to take care of patients that require additional time and communication in order to meet their treatment goals. I also love that my job requires me to be a jack of all trades – I regularly work on clinical quality, reducing cost, patient education, and clinical outcomes. I’ve enjoyed seeing Eden Health grow so quickly and I like figuring out how we maintain the personalized Eden Health touch that our patients value so much as we scale.
Relationships | How do you cultivate a relationship with your patients?
Just like any other relationship, I believe that a patient-provider relationship is best cultivated with effective communication, collaboration and trust. And every relationship is different, which means every relationship must be personalized. When working with a patient, I try to understand where they are coming from because people have different limitations, whether those are related to finances, time, or other factors. Good care requires buy-in from the patient so they feel a sense of ownership. Collaborating closely with patients is what I have found best helps them achieve the outcomes that they, and I desire.
Hometown | Where are you from?
I grew up in Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. I also spent a few years in Sweden where I became more interested in different forms of healthcare delivery.
Fun stuff | What do you like to do in your free time?
I love outdoor activities, including biking, skiing, and hiking. I love cooking, even though I’m not the best at it. I enjoy incorporating different ingredients and creating something delicious that people can get together and share.
Parting words | What’s a quote you live by?
“Better is possible. It does not take genius. It takes diligence. It takes moral clarity. It takes ingenuity. And above all, it takes a willingness to try.”
– Atul Gawande

Eden’s Convene Launch Brings Primary Care to the Workplace
- Anchored in Convene’s Flagship 530 Fifth Avenue Workplace Site, the newest Eden Health location will serve Convene employees, Convene workplace members and Eden Health members
- A tech-enabled alternative to traditional primary care models, Eden Health provides workforces with a dedicated Care Team that offers digital care around the clock, same-day in-person care, mental healthcare and insurance navigation
- More than 25 locations will open in partnership with Convene over the next 18 months as Eden Health rapidly expands its new model to provide on-site and near-site enhanced primary care to workforces everywhere
NEW YORK, July 01, 2019 — Primary care and insurance navigation company Eden Health today announced the opening of their newest location at 530 Fifth Avenue in the heart of midtown Manhattan. Anchored within Convene’s newest flagship site, the location will serve Convene employees and flexible workplace members as well as Eden Health’s direct-to-employer members. The launch also extends Eden Health’s groundbreaking direct-to-employer approach to primary care, mental healthcare and insurance navigation to companies and their workforces located in midtown Manhattan and nearby areas.
Eden Health is a fast-growing, tech-enabled alternative to traditional primary care models. Companies like Harry’s, Emigrant Bank, Newscred, Yext and Stack Overflow have tapped Eden Health to provide their workforces with an app-accessible Care Team that offers digital care around the clock, same-day in-person care at an Eden Health medical office, mental healthcare and insurance navigation.
Eden Health is located either on-site or near an employer’s office and are members-only, dramatically shortening the traditional 2-3 week wait time for primary care appointments. Eden Health’s integration of insurance navigation with direct access to its clinicians and behavioral health providers further alleviates common personal healthcare management headaches. And by contracting directly with employers, Eden Health works seamlessly within an employer’s existing insurance carrier and benefits program.
Eden Health’s launch at 530 Fifth Avenue is the first of 25+ locations it will roll out in partnership with Convene, the nation’s leading flexible workspace and amenity services partner to Class A landlords. The partnership underscores both companies’ commitment to providing a flexible, on-demand healthcare services model that meets employees needs wherever they are. Additional Eden Health offices at Convene locations will open in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Boston, and Los Angeles through 2019 and 2020.
Comment:
“Primary care is a fundamental building block for healthcare, yet there is a dramatic shortage of high quality primary care options. And with an 18 day average wait for a primary care appointment, almost no one is getting the care they need when they need it. We’ve integrated around the clock virtual care with members-only on-site and near-site locations so that when a healthcare need arises, our members can access their Care Team right away. We’re looking forward to serving members at our first Convene location and as we expand to Convene locations across the country.” — Matt McCambridge, CEO and Co-founder of Eden Health
“Now more than ever, progressive companies are prioritizing their employees’ physical and mental health and investing tremendous resources to create a better workplace experience. By partnering with Eden Health, we are creating a first-of-its-kind healthcare offering that will change the lives of not only our own employees, but also the tenants in Convene-enabled buildings and our expanding network of WorkPlace members. Over the past year, we have seen firsthand the benefits of bringing a primary healthcare solution directly to our employees and believe this will be a transformative healthcare amenity for our landlord partners, their tenants and our corporate clients.” — Ryan Simonetti, CEO and co-founder of Convene
