HOUSTON & CHICAGO, August 21, 2019 – VillageMD, a nationally recognized leader in primary care services, has announced a significant expansion in Houston through the acquisition of Village Family Practice. This strategic move will see all 10 clinics currently operating under the Village Family Practice banner rebranded as Village Medical by the end of this year. The acquisition underscores VillageMD’s commitment to delivering high-quality, value-based healthcare to a broader patient base in the Houston metropolitan area.
Dr. Clive Fields, co-founder of VillageMD and managing partner at Village Family Practice, highlighted the legacy and future vision of this transition. “Village Family Practice was established by my father over four decades ago with a core mission: to foster strong, personal connections with our patients and guide them towards improved health outcomes,” Dr. Fields stated. “Becoming part of VillageMD represents an exciting phase for our dedicated physicians and staff. It allows us to uphold this foundational vision while contributing to the evolution of primary care practices nationwide.”
The rebranding initiative, converting all Village Family Practice locations to Village Medical, is set to complete within the current year. This follows VillageMD’s previous acquisition of Memorial Clinical Associates (MCA) in June, which is also undergoing a similar rebranding to Village Medical. Village Medical aims to offer convenient and accessible access to superior, value-driven primary care services within the communities where patients live and work. Houston will serve as the launchpad for this brand, with plans for nationwide expansion already in motion.
Tim Barry, CEO and co-founder of VillageMD, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership. “We are honored by the confidence Dr. Fields and his physician partners have placed in our model through this alignment,” said Barry. “My respect for Village Family Practice is longstanding, and I believe our combined history and shared experiences will enable us to extend high-quality, compassionate healthcare to an even greater number of patients.”
