Chronic care nurse navigators are an additional resource to help you with chronic health conditions like diabetes, congestive heart failure, chronic lung disease, kidney problems, and more. Nurse navigators assist with setting realistic diet and exercise goals, help schedule regular follow-up appointments, offer preventive care opportunities, find community health resources, and support you and your family during stressful health events.
Your primary care physician (PCP) quarterbacks your care, meaning they coordinate healthcare services with other members of your care team, working closely with specialists and hospitals to ensure you receive timely and appropriate medical care.
Our hospital/ER transition nurse navigators assist patients who are admitted to or discharged from an acute care facility. They can help you understand your discharge instructions, figure out medication changes, and tell you when to call your doctor during this critical transition. This can help you avoid an unnecessary trip back to the hospital or emergency room when it’s not needed. Nurse navigators can also help you schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor and address any concerns you may have after your hospital visit.
ARC has you covered - we accept traditional Medicare and several Medicare Advantage Plans. We welcome new and established patients to ARC and encourage all patients to learn about their Medicare options.
Medicare Wellness assessments are provided to patients with a Medicare or Medicare Advantage insurance plan. Our Medicare Wellness assessments focus on preventive care, including a review of vaccinations, cancer screenings, heart and diabetic screenings, osteoporosis screenings, behavioral health concerns, fall prevention, and more.

You can review our provider ratings and comments on our web site with the confidence that they are all based on verified visits. We post all patient feedback relevant to the entire visit and only refrain from posting comments that are libelous, profane, or those that risk the privacy of our patients.
The below guide provides details about how we collect and share our patient feedback.
ARC partnered with Press Ganey to collect patient feedback about their doctor’s visit. We gather feedback from text surveys that are sent after the visit. Press Ganey is an independent third party customer feedback company that provides the technology to collect the feedback and display ratings and comments on our web site. All ratings are submitted by actual patients and verified by ARC.
Patients for whom we have a mobile phone number receive a text survey within two hours of checking in for their visit. Patients are asked to complete the survey and provide ratings and comments regarding their experience at different touch points of their visit. We use this feedback to recognize doctors and staff, identify issues we can correct, and enhance our care.
ARC posts all positive and negative patient feedback that is relevant to the entire visit. We refrain from posting comments that are libelous, profane, or those that risk the privacy of our patients.
ARC asks questions that touch on the overall patient experience related to their visit. Anyone seeking detailed information about each question can view the ratings for each specific question on the Reviews tab on the provider bio page on the website. We calculate our provider star ratings based on the responses to question number six below. We calculate our location star ratings based on the responses to all the below questions.
Since more recent data provides a more accurate picture, we require a minimum of 30 patient surveys per doctor in the last 12 months before we post a physician’s rating.
ARC physicians and staff review all comments and act to rectify issues. Since the purpose of the feedback is to allow us to improve the overall patient experience, we display the last 90 days of comments which are the most relevant for the practice.
No. Only patients having an outpatient visit by an ARC physician receive a survey. The results are based entirely from patients who have actually been treated by the physician in our clinics.
Comments are reviewed and approved prior to being published to the website. If a comment contains any personally identifiable information, that information will be removed from the comment.
