Rural Virginia Primary and Mental Healthcare
Expanding access to physician-led primary care across Virginia — because where you live should never determine the care you receive.
Through the Virginia Institute of Family Medicine, Dr. Erica M. Allen Winslow is helping connect patients to quality healthcare when distance, transportation barriers, and provider shortages stand in the way.
The Challenge
Rural communities across Virginia face systemic barriers that make quality healthcare difficult to access.
Provider Shortages
Rural Virginia faces a critical shortage of primary care physicians. Many communities have no local family doctor accepting new patients.
Transportation Barriers
Patients routinely drive 60+ minutes one way to reach the nearest primary care office — a burden that delays care and worsens outcomes.
Higher Chronic Disease Rates
Rural populations experience disproportionately high rates of diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and untreated mental health conditions.
Aging Populations
Many rural communities have growing older adult populations who need regular, accessible medical care and often face social isolation.
Our Approach
Physician-led telehealth that brings comprehensive care directly to patients — no matter how remote their community.
Telehealth-First Access
Virtual visits from home eliminate travel barriers. Patients connect with Dr. Winslow by phone, tablet, or computer — no special software required.
Whole-Person Care
Comprehensive treatment for chronic conditions alongside mental health — diabetes, hypertension, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and OCD.
Statewide Reach
Serving Southern Virginia, Southside, Southwest Virginia, the Shenandoah Valley, Northern Neck, and Middle Peninsula — wherever you live in the Commonwealth.
