We’re enhancing patient care and expanding services into West Omaha through the integration of Omaha Family Medicine.
We are excited to announce a significant expansion in its service offerings with the incorporation of Omaha Family Medicine into our network. Effective August 1, 2024, the well-established Omaha Family Medicine, located at 17841 Pierce Plaza, will officially become a Think Whole Person Healthcare medical clinic. This transition marks a new chapter for both organizations, enhancing the level of care available to the West Omaha community.
Dr. Charles Stoner: A Legacy of Care
Leading the new think clinic is Dr. Charles Stoner, a highly respected physician who founded Omaha Family Medicine in 2003. Dr. Stoner has built a reputation for providing exceptional patient care, focusing on preventive medicine and the management of chronic conditions. With over two decades of experience, his integration into think’s network signifies a commitment to maintaining high standards of care while leveraging additional resources to benefit his patients.
“I am excited to become a part of think,” Dr. Stoner said. “Our philosophies regarding patient care are aligned. Think is best in class in terms of quality, cost of care, and patient outcomes, which have always been my priority and passion. As a member of the think team, I will have access to even more resources to provide the very best care to my patients and the West Omaha community.”
Think Whole Person Healthcare: A Leader in Integrated Care
Think Whole Person Healthcare was established in July 2015 and has quickly grown to become one of the largest independent primary care centers in the United States. We employ more than 300 healthcare professionals, including physicians, care coordinators, registered nurses, and pharmacists, all dedicated to providing comprehensive care to approximately 45,000 patients in Omaha.
We operate as an Accountable Care Organization (ACO), a collaborative network of doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers who work together to deliver coordinated, high-quality care. The primary goal of an ACO is to ensure that patients receive the right care at the right time, thereby improving health outcomes and reducing overall healthcare costs.
Jason Doll, our CEO, highlights the organization’s innovative approach: “Think has been leading the way in changing how healthcare is practiced in Nebraska. The independent primary care model plays a key role in think’s success. By treating the whole person, in a coordinated effort with physicians, care coordinators, clinical pharmacists, and others working together, Think has been able to improve the quality of care for our patients and reduce costs.”
Achieving Excellence: Think’s National Recognition
Our success is evident in our outstanding performance metrics. According to data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), think ranks as the #1 performing ACO in Nebraska and is recognized nationally as #2 in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) outcomes for quality and cost savings. This recognition underscores our commitment to excellence and our effectiveness in providing high-quality, cost-efficient care.
Seamless Transition for Patients
Current patients of Omaha Family Medicine can rest assured that there will be no interruption of care during this transition. Dr. Stoner and his dedicated team will continue to provide the same high level of service that patients have come to expect. The clinic’s integration into think will enhance the patient experience by offering access to a broader range of resources and services.
New external building signage with the think logo is expected to be installed later this summer, signaling the official transformation of the clinic. This change not only represents a new era for the clinic but also reinforces our presence and commitment to the West Omaha community.

Our innovative model focuses on managing patients’ health through an integrated approach. By coordinating care among various healthcare professionals, we ensure that every aspect of a patient’s health is addressed. Our model not only improves health outcomes but also enhances patient satisfaction and reduces healthcare costs.
