Altheda Medical Center Opens in Kennedy, Your New Neighbor in Healthcare

When it comes to taking care of your health and that of your loved ones, everyone wants a place they can trust. Meet Altheda Medical Center, the newest addition to the community’s healthcare landscape, in Kennedy Township. With its innovative approach and commitment to comprehensive care, Altheda is set to redefine what’s expected from local healthcare providers.

A Holistic Approach to Your Family's Health

Altheda isn’t just another medical facility. It’s a comprehensive health and wellness center designed with you and your family in mind. From primary care for adults and seniors to pediatrics, mental health services, wellness and aesthetics, Altheda brings together a wide range of healthcare services under one roof.

Dr. Steven Twan, Altheda’s medical director with nearly 40 years of experience in primary care medicine, explains their vision: “We believe that true health encompasses physical, mental, and aesthetic well-being. By offering all these services in one place, we make it easier for families to receive coordinated, comprehensive care.”

The list of services at Altheda is impressive and diverse, encompassing primary care, pediatrics, behavioral and mental health services, wellness programs, aesthetics treatments, and specialty medical services like immigration exams, occupational health, and travel medicine.

"We're actively recruiting top specialists in various fields and plan to introduce new specialties and services in the coming months. Our goal is to provide our patients with an ever-growing array of healthcare options, all under one roof."

Care for the Whole Family

One of Altheda’s standout features is its ability to cater to all members of the family. Jonathan Twan, Altheda’s managing partner, emphasizes, “Parents can bring their children, from newborns to teenagers, to the same office where they receive their own care. We also offer geriatric care, ensuring that our senior patients receive the attentive, specialized care they deserve.”

Quick Access to Quality Care

In today’s fast-paced world, waiting weeks for a medical appointment can be frustrating and potentially harmful. Altheda prioritizes quick access to their services.

“We’re proud to say that we have appointments available now,” Dr. Twan emphasizes. “Whether you need to see a primary care physician, pediatrician, or mental health professional, we can typically schedule you for an appointment within days, not weeks or months.”

Altheda’s facility is designed with patient comfort in mind. The modern and welcoming space creates a soothing atmosphere for patients of all ages.

A Focus on Behavioral and Mental Health

Altheda recognizes the importance of mental and behavioral well-being as integral components of overall health. Their comprehensive approach seamlessly integrates mental health services with primary care through their Behavioral Health Integration care management system. This innovative system ensures patients receive holistic treatment by coordinating mental and physical health services, leading to more effective and personalized care outcomes.

Yeon Kim, one of Altheda’s psychiatric specialists, elaborates: “Mental health is an essential component of overall wellness. Our integrated approach allows us to address both physical and mental health concerns simultaneously, leading to better outcomes for our patients. We offer a range of behavioral and mental health services, all coordinated with our patients’ primary care.”

Accessible Excellence

Altheda is committed to making high-quality healthcare accessible to everyone. They accept a wide range of insurance plans, including most major insurance providers, Medicaid, and Medicare, ensuring that quality care is within reach for the entire community. To further support patients, Altheda offers dedicated patient care coordination. Their Patient Care Coordinator guides patients through every step of their healthcare journey, from scheduling appointments to understanding treatment options and insurance coverage. This personalized assistance ensures a seamless and supportive experience for all patients, reinforcing Altheda’s commitment to accessible, comprehensive care.

Medical Aesthetics: Where Health Meets Beauty

Recognizing that feeling good about one’s appearance can significantly impact overall well-being, Altheda offers a range of medical aesthetic services using FDA-approved technologies. Boni Xiong, Altheda’s strategic partner, explains, “We offer treatments for conditions like adolescent and adult acne, acne scarring, sun damage, unwanted hair and more. Our approach is always medical-first, ensuring safe and effective results.”

Growing with the Community

As Altheda establishes itself in Kennedy Township, they have big plans for the future. “Our vision is to become a healthcare hub that serves not just Kennedy Township, but the broader Pittsburgh area,” Dr. Twan shares. “We’re committed to growing responsibly, always keeping our focus on providing the highest quality care to our patients.”
