Dr. Zando is a member of a Family Health Organization (FHO) and an Internal Medicine Specialist
Your Family Health Organization (FHO) is a group of family physicians who work together giving your family best access to personalized care and quality services – with a focus on illness prevention.
FHOs provide care during regular and extended office hours and patients also have access to a nurse-staffed Telephone Health Advisory Service.
For FHOs to be effective, enrolled patients must commit to receiving their primary health care Monday to Friday from their primary physician or, if she is not available, from another doctor in the FHO.
Additionally, as a patient of an FHO, you will have access to referrals to specialists and having your doctor informed of your care both in and out of the hospital.
What Does This Mean for You?
When you are a patient at the FHO, you may access:
- Ability to call for same day appointments based on availability
- Requests for us to advocate for you to get the tests and services you need
- Requests for us to make appropriate referrals on your behalf
- Telephone health advice 24/7 through the Telephone Health Advisory Service
- Extended hours on evenings and weekends
