Go Docs Go set to move to Chelsea to accommodate more staff

Go Docs Go is set to move to downtown Chelsea this fall in order to allow the growing home healthcare company room to accommodate its staff.

The Ann Arbor-based company plans to move to the historic Chelsea Clock Tower next month. The new office will triple the space available to the 2-year-old company, giving it room for its roster of ever-growing employees in a dynamic environment.

"It's a wonderful building with some great character and history," says Kylyn Mead, practice manager of Go Docs Go.

Go Docs Go streamlines the treatment process for people with chronic conditions. It focuses on providing home checkups by nurses and physicians to make sure small colds don't turn into pneumonia. The service helps reduce healthcare costs with its proactive approach that minimizes the time patients spend in a healthcare facility.

Go Docs Go has hired a dozen people over the last year, expanding its staff to 20 people. It is also looking to hire another five people. Those positions are primarily made up of physicians, nurses and clinical assistants. Part of the recipe for that growth is Go Docs Go’s new office in Indianapolis. The firm opened it last fall as the company expands it reach across the Midwest.

"It's a great market," Mead says. "We love doing patient care in the Midwest. We saw a need and decided to open an office there."

Go Docs Go has doubled its revenue over the last year as the demand for home healthcare spikes while the U.S. population gets older. That trend has made Mead optimistic about her firm's near-term growth prospects.

"We're on track to do that again," Mead says.
