New Frontier adds Women’s Health Services

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- New Frontier Mobile Diagnostics now offers diagnostic ultrasounds for Women's Health (OB/GYN), adding to the scope of on-site imaging capabilities available to patients. Access to Women's Health services is a critical factor in the health of women, regardless of child-bearing status.

According to a 2019 study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, women seeking basic gynecological care incur significantly greater health care costs (84% higher for ages 18-44, 21% higher for 45 and older) and are more likely to go without care because of cost.

During pregnancies, studies have shown that limited access to care can result in negative outcomes including premature birth, low birth weight, maternal mortality, severe maternal morbidity, and an increased risk of postpartum depression.

"By bringing affordable, quality care on-site, New Frontier hopes to eliminate some of the challenges that women face when seeking healthcare," said Jeff Blackwood, Founder of New Frontier. "Your zip code, race, and income shouldn't be the primary factors determining the quality of care you receive. We want to make these services available to women where they need it, when they need it."

In addition to Women's Health services, New Frontier continues to serve doctor's offices, clinics, and facilities with on-site diagnostic imaging for cardiac, vascular, and general ultrasound services.

Healient Physician Group Forms Agreement with New Frontier Mobile Diagnostics

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Healient Physician Group and Kansas City's newest Medicare-approved diagnostic imaging vendor, New Frontier Mobile Diagnostics, have announced a partnership to improve access to care for seniors put at risk by the Covid-19 health crisis.

According to the CDC, 41% of adults in the U.S. have delayed or avoided medical care due to fears of exposure during the pandemic. The aim of the partnership is to bring high quality, life-saving diagnostic services directly to patients in care facilities throughout Kansas and Missouri.

New Frontier uses portable ultrasound machinery to provide in-room diagnostic imaging services for heart, vascular, and general imaging procedures. By eliminating the need to transport patients to hospitals or imaging centers for these procedures, New Frontier minimizes patients' risk of exposure, improves outcomes, and lowers costs.

Healient Physician Group provides the diagnosis and treatment of select healthcare specialties, such as conditions of the heart, wound care, and various forms of vascular disease. Often, these conditions are prominent among patients in long-term care or skilled nursing facilities serving seniors or individuals with disabilities.

"By partnering with New Frontier, we're helping vulnerable patients minimize their risk of exposure to Covid-19 by bringing trained healthcare technologists into their care facilities to perform diagnostic procedures," Said Dr. David Burkart, principal of Healient.

"Obviously, senior care facilities have been overwhelmed by the demands of the pandemic, and they are working hard to balance the ongoing healthcare needs of their patients with the realities of the virus," said Jeff Blackwood, CEO of New Frontier Mobile Diagnostics, which started procedures in July 2020 as cases of Covid-19 rose worldwide.

Access to care remains a significant problem for Americans, according to the American Heart Association. "Our first goal was to help the senior care community, since the pandemic had the greatest impact on their access to care," said Blackwood.
