AFC West Chester VOA is independently owned and operated by local Mason, OH residents Kal Patel and Jed Sherman. The two friends started in the hospitality industry, but Patel is a self-admitted accident-prone and frequent urgent care user. He noticed a disconnect between the experience he received and what he expected when visiting a clinic. So, drawing from their hospitality management experience, Patel and Sherman are creating the best complete patient care experience out there.
“We’re blending hospitality and health care by building a team that focuses on providing compassion, courtesy, and competency to patients and treating them as our guests,” said Patel. “We believe care begins before you see the doctor. So our lobby includes a lighted blue-sky ceiling, fresh ground coffee/cappuccino maker, bottled water, warm blankets, and soft music to soothe the sick patients as soon as they walk in.”
