Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Medicine comprises seven entities with a single mission of improving health, both locally and globally. This fall, as part of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Medicine’s launch of a new brand, we are reaching out to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ employees who choose this system for their health care and asking them a single question: why?
Web manager Eric Tognetti started receiving his health care from Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Medicine shortly after he began working at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ four-and-a-half years ago. He receives his primary-care at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Medicine Belltown Clinic. He appreciates having a physician who knows all about him and remembers what they talked about at the last visit. He also values the ease of obtaining an appointment to see his doctor.
A soccer injury brought him to the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Medicine Sports Medicine Clinic a few years ago. The clinic scheduled him with Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ orthopedic surgeons, who repaired his torn knee, and with physical therapists who assisted him in his recovery.
Tognetti has also been a patient at Harborview Medical Center’s world-renowned Emergency Department. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ co-workers encouraged him to go to the Harborview ER when he had sudden warning signs of a potentially serious condition. There, a team of specialists provided a thorough assessment and consulted with his primary-care physician on a course of action. He’s now doing fine.
Watch a with Tognetti to learn his reasons for choosing Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Medicine for his health-care, and the experiences he has had with primary, specialty, and emergency treatment at Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Medicine — where he is also employed.
