Senior Primary Care Comes to Orange City With AdventHealth Well 65+

Senior Primary Care Comes to Orange City With AdventHealth Well 65+

For most of us, our health needs become more complex over time, and senior adults 65 and up benefit from specialized care. From managing chronic conditions to maintaining mental and emotional well-being, the right care team can make all the difference.

Now, seniors in Orange City, Florida, have access to care designed just for them with the opening of our AdventHealth Well 65+ Orange City senior primary care clinic.

This new location brings compassionate, whole-person care to the community, helping adults age 65 and older stay healthy, active and connected.

Health Care Designed for Life After 65

As people grow older, their health needs evolve. Senior primary care focuses specifically on the unique medical and lifestyle challenges that can arise during this stage of life. At AdventHealth Well 65+, providers specialize in caring for Medicare-eligible patients, offering preventive screenings, chronic disease management and personalized health plans tailored to each patient’s goals.

Patients also benefit from longer appointment times and a team-based approach that ensures their concerns are heard and addressed. Providers take the time to understand each patient’s health history, lifestyle and personal priorities, helping them develop a care plan that supports long-term wellness.

“Our goal is to make a whole-person impact within the senior community,” says Jose Gutierrez, MD, a provider at AdventHealth Well 65+ Orange City. “I wanted to know that I was able to care for my patients every step of the way.”

Whole-Person Care for Body, Mind and Spirit

At AdventHealth, care goes beyond treating symptoms. Our mission is Extending the Healing Ministry of Christ by focusing on patients’ physical, mental and emotional health.

Senior mental health is a key priority. Many older adults face challenges like chronic illness, stress, substance use, loneliness or isolation — factors that can impact mental well-being. The team at our AdventHealth Well 65+ senior care clinics works to identify and address these issues while connecting patients with the support they need.

If seniors require additional emotional support or counseling, services are available onsite, along with connections to local resources designed to strengthen overall well-being.

Provider Amanda Adkins, APRN, says that mission-driven care is one of the reasons she joined the team.

“I got into health care to really take care of people through medicine, but also through body, mind and spirit,” she says. “At AdventHealth Well 65+ Orange City, I get to be surrounded by a wonderful care team who truly embody that.”

A Team-Based Approach to Better Health

One of the defining features of senior primary care at AdventHealth Well 65+ is its multidisciplinary care model. In addition to physicians and advanced practice providers, patients may have access to social workers, care coordinators and other health professionals who work together to support their care.

This collaborative approach helps ensure that every aspect of a patient’s health is addressed, from preventive care and chronic condition management to medication guidance and lifestyle support. Patients also benefit from convenient services like onsite labs, same- or next-day appointments and access to their care team when they need it.

By coordinating care across a full network of specialists, the team can help seniors stay proactive about their health and avoid unnecessary hospital visits.

Building Connection in the Community

Health is about more than doctor visits — it’s also about staying connected with others. Our Community Engagement and Social Work teams at Orange City regularly host events designed to bring seniors together and provide helpful resources.

These gatherings include group exercise classes like Zumba and Tai Chi, as well as Medicare lunch and learn events and classes on SNAP-Ed education that give community members opportunities to learn about their health and available services.

The Community Engagement and Social Work teams focus on strengthening and helping the community by listening to seniors about what they need. That’s how Fresh Market Community Events was born, a complimentary market where AdventHealth Well 65+ provides healthy fruits and veggies to our local communities.

Programs like these help seniors stay active, informed and connected with their community.

Supporting Seniors at Every Step

The opening of AdventHealth Well 65+ in Orange City reflects a growing commitment to meeting the health needs of older adults with compassion, expertise and convenience.

“We want to help our patients stay healthy long after 65,” Amanda says. “I never want to forget the difference I can make to my patients every day.”

For seniors looking for personalized primary care that supports the whole person, our new Orange City clinic offers a welcoming start.
