OUR JOURNEY

While Village Health Partner's journey began in 2007, everyone has had their own journey. From locations that opened to 2007 to a merger in 2020, and from the physicians that were here from the beginning to our most recent advanced practitioner, we are all on this journey together, making a difference one patient at a time.
