Doctor’s holiday access program costs patients 1800 a year
Deanna Hogue needed a doctor on a holiday weekend and reached Dr James Gardner III on his cell phone. Gardner’s practice in New Wilmington offers a direct-access program for about 400 patients in Lawrence and Mercer counties for 1800 per year, not covered by insurance, valued by patients like the Hogues who pay 3600 annually. The program partly prompted Gardner to relocate his clinic from New Castle Street in the borough.
