Since its launch nearly eight years ago, One to One Health has sought to deliver more personalized and cost- effective primary care by using a physician-owned network of providers and offering onsite clinics and patient assistance to employer groups.

For all its success in improving patient satisfaction and keeping a lid on rising health care costs for employers, the company’s move into a Riverfront Parkway office came at an inopportune time last year. One to One created a new exercise and fitness facility and meeting area just before the coronavirus pandemic forced the shut down of such facilities.

“For a while, I had the best personal workout facility in town,” quipped Dr. Keith Helton, the founder of One to One Health who moved into the Riverfront Parkway facility in early 2020.

Ultimately, the exercise facility, food training area and physical therapy clinic reopened later in the year along with the physician offices in the upper floors of the former Alstom facility. The complex is designed to offer the type of on-site health care facilities that major employers like Hamilton County government provide for their workers through One to One Health’s holistic approach to primary medical care.

“It’s all about trying to elevate the patient experience and elevating their health and well being by reducing many of the barriers to a healthier lifestyle and the collective approach of having people really care about you as an individual,” Helton said. “We want to treat our patients like they were part of our family, which is why most doctors got into medicine in the first place.”
