About Carena

We are a medical care company, founded as OnSiteDocs, Inc. by a leading Seattle family practice physician. At Carena, we understand the challenges of health care today:

As a patient, just getting an appointment is a challenge - the clinic waiting room is full and the doctor is in such a hurry there is little time to ask questions about your care.
As a physician, the production schedule requires you to see 25 to 30 patients a day leaving little more than seven minutes to do what most physicians believe takes 45 minutes.
As an employer, there is no way to know if the care you paid for provides the best outcomes for your employees, much less whether the care is integrated with your other health and wellness initiatives.

At Carena, we do not believe medical care has to be that way.

Carena provides a new model of health care delivery for innovative, self-insured companies of all sizes. Through our care programs, our physicians provide in-person medical care and education 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in the home or at the workplace. Carena programs improve access to medical care, resulting in lower costs and better outcomes for our clients. We combine the best of modern evidence-based medicine with the service and attention of an old-fashioned house call.

Our client-customized care and education programs provide a superior alternative, uniting uncompromising quality and unparalleled access. Carena physician visits routinely last an hour, providing ample time for personalized care and education to ensure the patient is confident in their care plan. Because our physicians know the employer’s other health initiatives, they can improve patient engagement and contribute significantly to the value of wellness programs already in place.

Our programs are a natural extension for employers that provide on-site clinics. For employers considering an on-site clinic, Carena programs provide much higher accessibility at lower costs. For smaller employers that cannot justify an on-site clinic, Carena offers on-site care at a fraction of the cost.

To date we have delivered more than 14,000 medical house calls at home and at work for our clients. Our program membership exceeds 80,000. We have proven our model of medical care and education with organizations such Costco Wholesale, Starwood Hotels and Swedish Medical Center, to name just a few.

Carena: Great physicians and a caring support and service team. Health care that comes to you.^®

Fabulous, absolutely wonderful! I would have gone into the ER if it wasn’t for this service. I felt as though I really received special attention and could address other concerns because I was much more comfortable at home rather than in the ER.”
