Welcome Health

At Welcome Health, we believe in healthcare that values your time. With little to no wait time (our waiting room is practically a ghost town! 👻), plus same- or next-day appointments, we make sure you’re seen when you need it.

Even better, our direct messaging app and telehealth options allow you to reach your provider directly, often solving your health concerns without an in-person visit. Think of it as healthcare that fits into your life, not the other way around.

Skip the spookiness of traditional waiting rooms, and treat yourself to a better healthcare experience. 🎃

Important Office Update

Due to ongoing cleanup and power outages, we will be limiting our office hours to 9 AM - 3 PM this week. Most appointments will be held at our Evans office, as the Davis Rd location is not yet safe for use (scroll to see photos of the damage at the office complex on Davis Rd.)

Additionally, we want to support our staff who are still dealing with challenges like no power, water, or damaged vehicles, as well as school and daycare closures. Your understanding is greatly appreciated during this time!

Thank you for your patience as we work to serve you and our community. 💙 For any questions, please reach out on Spruce.

Our Evans office will have limited hours for the rest of the week. Evans will be open from 10 AM - 12 PM.

We are able to assist with medication refills and sick visits only during this time. Home visits may be arranged if needed.

Please be aware that we have intermittent cell phone service, so we encourage you to text us or use Spruce instead of trying to call.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through these challenges.

- Your Welcome Health Team

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. All Welcome Health locations remain without power, and our Augusta office has suffered significant damage due to a fallen tree.

We understand this is a difficult time for many in our community. We will update you as soon as possible on when our offices will reopen and how to reschedule appointments. In the meantime, if you have any urgent care needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us through Spruce.

Stay safe, and we’re here to support you through this challenging time.

We want to thank everyone who came out last week to our Ribbon Cutting event, celebrating our community and the growth of Welcome Health! It was a great opportunity to connect and share with our community leaders and fellow Chamber members about what makes Direct Primary Care so unique. Thank you also to the Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce and the Columbia County GA Chamber of Commerce for orchestrating this event!

Forever in our hearts, never forgotten. Today, we remember the victims and heroes of 9/11. 🇺🇸

Starting September 3rd, flu vaccines will be available at all Welcome Health locations. Protect yourself and your loved ones this flu season! 💪🏽

Prices range from $25 to $65, depending on the type. We work with Vaxcare, so you can use your insurance to cover the cost.

📅 To ensure we have a spot for you, please call or message us on Spruce to schedule your visit.

Today, we celebrate the hard work and dedication of every individual who keeps our communities thriving. At Welcome Health, we’re honored to support your health so you can continue doing what you do best.

Thank you for all you do, and enjoy a safe and relaxing Labor Day! 🇺🇸

In honor of Labor Day, all Welcome Health locations will be closed on Monday, September 2nd, to allow our hardworking team to enjoy a well-deserved break. We'll resume regular hours on Tuesday, September 3rd.

We hope you have a safe and relaxing holiday with your loved ones. Should you need immediate assistance, please reach out on Spruce.

: Healthy Holiday Habits

As Labor Day weekend approaches, it’s crucial to remember that your health doesn’t take a holiday. At Welcome Health, we emphasize the importance of preventive care and healthy habits. Here are some ways to keep your health in check this holiday:

1️⃣ Prioritize Rest: Sleep deprivation can weaken your immune system by up to 50%. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep to stay strong and healthy. 2️⃣ Stay Active: Regular physical activity reduces the risk of chronic diseases by 30-40%. A brisk walk or light exercise can help counteract holiday indulgence. 3️⃣ Eat Mindfully: Studies indicate that consuming a balanced diet can reduce the risk of developing heart disease by 35%. Choose nutrient-rich foods to support your body. 4️⃣ Manage Stress: High stress levels can increase your risk of stroke by 50%. Practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or meditation, to keep stress in check.

Our team at Welcome Health is here to support your wellness journey with personalized, accessible care. Have questions or need guidance? We're just a call, Spruce message or visit away.

According to recent data, 59% of U.S. job postings now include at least one employer-provided benefit—up significantly from early 2020. And being competitive in the job market is not just about high wages anymore; benefits like healthcare are key!

For small businesses, gig workers, and others in industries where benefits are often limited, Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an affordable way to set your business apart. As highlighted in a recent article by HR Brew*, "If you’re looking for a job in a sector where a benefit isn’t necessarily a given…seeing in a job posting that they have health, that they have paid time-off, all of that would really catch your eye."

At Welcome Health, we help businesses stay ahead by offering DPC as an affordable employee benefit. With DPC, your team gets direct access to comprehensive healthcare without the hassle of insurance, ensuring they stay healthy, happy, and productive.

Why choose DPC?
✔️ Boosts employee retention and satisfaction
✔️ Reduces absenteeism
✔️ Enhances your overall benefits package

Invest in your employees' well-being, especially in industries where benefits are rare, and watch your business thrive. 💪 Reach out today to learn more about how DPC can help you stand out in the job market!
