How are patients recruited to LMA?
LMA sees large numbers of new patients. These patients come to us from a variety of sources. Many of our new patients are referred by our current patients. Others come to us through the Rush PHO (Physician Hospital Organization) Rush sub-specialists, our residents, and other sources. In addition, the Rush Graduate Medical Education office often refers incoming residents and fellows in need of a physician to LMA. LMA is the medical provider for Rush medical students. The Student Health Program at Lifetime Medical Associates gives Rush Med-Peds residents the opportunity to care for Rush medical students in a variety of capacities including primary care.
