Part 2 of our History of the House Call series takes us into the rugged, resilient world of 19th-century healthcare. Doctors on horseback. Crowded city streets. Tinctures and midwives. Featuring stories from George Washington’s final days to the everyday endurance of early American doctors, this was a time when house calls were common and essential.

Introducing our new series: The History of the House Call. Long before hospitals became the center of care, medicine began at the doorstep. Join us as we trace the evolution of personalized care and explore how modern tech is bringing it back home.

Dr. Kristin Collins, Pediatric Medical Director of DocGo’s Affiliated Clinical Practice Group explains why health equity starts at home.
