Grand Junction, Colorado – Officials at MarillacHealth just announced the organization’s new name, PrimeHealth+ (pronounced PrimeHealth Plus), which goes live on Friday, August 1. The former Marillac Clinic was opened in 1988 when the organization first opened to provide healthcare for the low-income and uninsured of Mesa County. Chief Executive Officer Kay Ramachandran explained the need for rebranding. “Over the past decade, our organization has grown from 5,000 to 16,000 patients. Today we are a thriving non-profit organization, and our geographic service area has expanded to serve Mesa County, Montrose County, and surrounding communities. We wanted a clear and meaningful identity that reflects the quality of care our patients receive. The new name of PrimeHealth Plus genuinely captures our strongly held belief that patients will achieve optimal wellness when healthcare is made affordable — and when it includes medical, dental, behavioral health and pharmacy services.” She added, “PrimeHealth Plus is truly one of a kind in our community!”
The organization’s mission is not changing. PrimeHealth+ will continue to provide accessible and affordable healthcare through multiple clinic locations, all of which will bear the new name and new signage. PrimeHealth+ clinics will be staffed by the same friendly faces, and new patients are always welcome. PrimeHealth’s brand-new health center, at 526 29 ½ Road, will open its doors the last week of August and will have the capacity to serve an additional 3,000 new patients.
