About us

We are passionate about our work and compassionate toward our people, whether they work here or seek care from us. We opened the first AbsoluteCare center in Atlanta in 2000, with a primary focus on treating members with HIV/AIDS. We quickly became an HIV Center of Excellence, achieving impressive results: an 88 percent retention rate and a 97 percent undetectable rate. A surprising thing happened. With so many of them free of the symptoms of HIV/AIDS, our members sought primary care from us. They were coming in for help controlling asthma, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and all the other conditions that life and aging had thrown their way. So we transformed. We assembled a larger team of qualified, passionate practitioners to offer whole-life care in a new, larger center. And in the last two decades, we have expanded our facilities to multiple locations in several states, where we offer our members everything from primary care to nutrition counseling, behavioral health, and life services. The members who set foot in an AbsoluteCare center are usually underserved. With their health already compromised, life’s daily stressors add to their level of need.

    We recently hosted AbsoluteCare’s first Provider Summit, bringing together all our Physicians and Advanced Practice Providers in Washington, DC. It’s a time to bring together all our providers – Primary Care Providers, Psychiatrists, and Community-Based Nurse Practitioners and renew our sense of purpose, identify opportunities, and strengthen the connection to our mission to go #beyondmedicine for the most vulnerable members of our communities. Thank you to Alice Hm Chen and Melissa Clarke for their time and presentations during our sessions.

    AbsoluteCare's CEO Michael Radu recently moderated an inspiring panel at #MHPA2024 alongside Darrell M. Gray, II, MD, MPH, FACG Amy Miller-Bowman MPA, CHIE and Beejadi Mukunda. The discussion centered on payer-provider partnerships' critical role in addressing social determinants of health and improving outcomes for vulnerable Medicaid populations. Too often, payers and healthcare providers are at odds when treating people, especially vulnerable and complex populations. Collaboration between both parties is vital to building trust, enhancing care coordination, and reducing unnecessary hospital visits. Thank you to Medicaid Health Plans of America (MHPA) for bringing us together to address these pressing issues and to the panelists for their valuable insights. #BeyondMedicine #SDOH #HealthEquity
