Lakewood, NJ --- Patient’s involved in
motor vehicle accidents who are seen in Kimball Medical Center’s
Emergency Room now have the option to receive fast-tracked
follow-up care through Kimball’s Corporate Care Program,
either the same or next business day.
Kimball’s Corporate Care Program, located on the Kimball
Campus at 500 River Avenue in Lakewood, will provide timely
appointments, either the same or following business day,
for discharged MVA patients with a board-certified physician.
Tanisha K. Taylor, MD, MPH, Medical Director of the Corporate
Care Program, is double board-certified in both occupational
and environmental medicine, and internal medicine, and oversees
the follow-up care program. “Here we can provide
quick, easy access to immediate MVA follow-up care, which
is critical for most patients who’ve been involved
in a motor vehicle accident. Through our close affiliation
with Kimball’s Emergency Room, we have access to all
ER medical notes and diagnostic images, and therefore, this
ensures the continuum of care for each patient,” she
explains.
A unique and beneficial aspect of the Corporate Care program
is the actual proximity of its programs and services. Corporate
Care and the Institute for Rehabilitation Services are housed
in the same suite on the Kimball Campus. This proximity
allows the medical directors, therapists, wound care specialists,
and laboratory services to work cohesively and simultaneously,
which ultimately results in a more efficient process and
helps provide patients with fast access to all necessary
medical services, tests and therapy, so they are able to
recover from their injuries quickly.
In addition, on-site laboratory services, referrals to medical
specialists, and physical and occupational therapy are all
available through the Corporate Care program.
Dr. Taylor earned her undergraduate degree at Mercy College
in Dobbs Ferry, New York, where she was Valedictorian of
her class. She earned her medical degree from New York
Medical College in Valhalla, New York and received a Masters
in Public Health Degree from Yale University in New Haven,
Connecticut. Dr. Taylor completed her residency in
Internal Medicine from Yale New Haven Hospital and a fellowship
in Occupational and Environmental Medicine from Yale University.
