“The custom portal Atos created for a multi-specialty medical practice in the Bronx, New York, was well received by the practices and provided the experience we were seeking for clinicians and patients,”
Venus Jones,
Director, Epic and Revenue Cycle Management at ACPNY
With medical offices across all five boroughs and Long Island, ACPNY is the largest primary and specialty care practice in the New York area, providing quality, personalized care that is focused on the whole patient.
ACPNY takes a team-based approach to care in which physicians work with nurses, social workers, medical assistants, nutritionists, behavioral health specialists and other healthcare professionals to address patient health from a physical, mental and social standpoint.
