FORT WORTH, TX (February 5th, 2024) –Palm Primary Care Texas (“Palm”), part of the MBF Healthcare Partners II, L.P. (“MBF”) portfolio and Florida-based Palm Medical Centers, announces the opening of two new primary care medical practices in Tarrant County. With these new locations, Palm now proudly operates four clinics in North Texas, with several additional locations scheduled to open before summer 2024.
Palm’s Texas launch in June 2023 was marked by the opening of two primary care clinics in Fort Worth. Since that time, Palm has found significant interest in its value-based model from primary care physicians who are looking to maintain their autonomy while benefiting from the support of an experienced, like-minded medical group. As a result of this enthusiasm surrounding Palm’s model, the following two centers will open on February 5, 2024:
- Fort Worth/Tanglewood (4400 Oak Park Lane, Fort Worth, TX): This practice will be led by Dr. Stuart Pickell, an internal medicine physician who has served the Fort Worth community for 25 years. Lisa Couch, ARNP, will also see patients at this practice on a full-time basis.
- Keller Central (4160 Heritage Parkway, STE 400, Keller, TX): This practice will be led by Dr. Mrunmayee Barve, a highly experienced family medicine practitioner with over 20 years of practice in value-based care and established roots in the community.
“We can’t think of a better way to start the new year than by welcoming the new physicians and clinical teams at these two facilities,” said Fowad Choudhry, CEO of Palm Medical Centers. “As we continue to grow, our sights are set on addressing several challenges that our communities face in getting access to high-quality convenient primary care. Both communities will benefit from expansion of our care delivery model, which keeps our physicians’ patient panels manageable, so they can have more frequent touch points and can spend the necessary personalized time that each patient deserves.”
