Legacy-GoHealth partners with Uber

Legacy Health and GoHealth Urgent Care have joined forces with Uber, the world’s largest ridesharing company, to offer healthcare services to Uber driver-partners and their families.

The collaboration, announced this week, marks a material change in the way “gig economy” companies can arrange access to care for on-demand workforces, officials said.

“Legacy-GoHealth Urgent Care has built an impressive urgent care network in the Portland-Vancouver area, rapidly expanding within local neighborhoods in an incredibly short amount of time,” said Bryce Bennett, Uber Portland’s general manager. “This partnership allows our driver-partners and their families to receive top-quality care with unparalleled access, convenience and value.”

Services available to drivers and their families include $0 out-of-pocket flu shots, sports physicals and free wellness classes. The program also offers diabetes and heart health classes, as well as biometrics screenings and ergonomics therapy.

“Our partnership with Uber is another great example of how we are building a unique ‘patient first’ culture of care focused on the entirety of the communities we serve. We put patients first by allowing them to regain control of where, when and how they access healthcare,” said Todd Latz, CEO of GoHealth Urgent Care. “Many of us have had the pleasure of being taken care of by Uber driver-partners in cities around the country, and this program is a meaningful way for us to return the favor.”

Legacy-GoHealth operates three convenient care clinics in Southwest Washington. A GoHealth clinic in Vancouver’s Cascade Park neighborhood opened in August 2015 and another clinic in Camas opened in December 2015. The third clinic, located in Vancouver’s Hazel Dell Marketplace, opened last month.
