Novant Health, Brio Primary Care join forces in Upstate

Brio Primary Care and Novant Health have entered into an agreement to deliver primary care across the Upstate. Under the agreement, expected to be finalized later this year, Brio Primary Care and Brio Aesthetics will become part of the Novant Health network, according to a Novant Health news release.

Brio will continue providing care to their patients, while gaining additional support and resources from Novant Health.

“Primary care plays a critical role in helping people live healthier, fuller lives,” Ryan Lee, president of Novant Health’s Greenville area, said in the news release. “Brio has built something special in this community. Their focus on relationships, access and the overall patient experience reflects a shared belief that care should be both personal and accessible. We are proud to work together to continue building care in the Upstate.”

Brio Primary Care is a physician-owned practice based in Greenville and Simpsonville. The company says the practice has worked to establish a reputation for an intentional, relationship-driven approach to primary care and a commitment to providing a different kind of health care experience.

In addition to its two existing locations, Brio plans to open a third clinic in the Hartness community later this year, according to the release. The practice currently includes nine physicians and 25 advanced practice providers and offers a range of services including curbside visits, telemedicine, on-site imaging and lab services.

“From the beginning, our focus has been on building meaningful relationships with our patients and delivering care that feels personal and connected,” Dr. Melanie Greene, physician partner for Brio Primary Care, said in the release. “Joining Novant Health allows us to continue what we’ve been building at Brio, while expanding what is possible for our patients and our community. We are excited to move forward together in a way that strengthens access to care and supports long-term health in the Upstate.”

Brio Aesthetics, a sister practice of Brio Primary Care, will also become part of the Novant Health network, offering medical-grade aesthetic services at its Bella Grove location in Greenville.

Patients will continue to receive care from the same providers and team members they have been seeing. Additional information will be shared with patients as the affiliation is finalized.
