Vineyard Medical Care, located in Vineyard Haven, MA, provides primary care services to island residents and vacationing visitors in need of medical attention. Offering an alternative to the lack of urgent care facilities on the island, this practice caters to individuals facing sudden health concerns, ensuring they receive timely treatment for minor illnesses. By offering same-day or next-day appointments within the scope of their licensing, Vineyard Medical Care aims to prevent unnecessary emergency room visits and alleviate pressure on the local ER. Although not an urgent care or walk-in clinic, Vineyard Medical Care welcomes walk-ins while emphasizing their limited availability. The practice does not provide on-site imaging services or pediatric care, with clinicians having varying age limits based on medical needs. In addition to primary care, the clinic offers appointments for a range of services including exams/tests for employers, sports physicals for students, DOT exams, and Coast Guard exams. Committed to community wellness for over 40 years, Vineyard Medical Care prioritizes patient care and convenience. With a focus on preventive medicine, the practice has recently introduced Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) services in partnership with Optimize Health, aiming to reduce the frequency of in-person medical visits and hospital admissions. The clinic's dedication to excellence is exemplified by Nurse Practitioner Laura Kelley, who received the Lifesaving Award from the Massachusetts State Police, showcasing the team's exceptional commitment to healthcare.
