Primary Care Services

It is important to see your primary care provider (PCP) at least once a year for an overall physical. This appointment is about preventive care and lets your doctor find potential health problems before they become a health problem. Preventive care can include immunizations, lab tests, physical exams and prescriptions. During this exam the provider will discuss your overall health and concerns and perform a comprehensive exam on the entire body.

Americans are living longer and living well for longer periods of time. This has created a relatively new and growing area of healthcare and provider services, known as elder care. Elder care encompasses a wide variety of issues, including choosing an appropriate healthcare provider to care for an aging patient, specialty care for chronic disease management and making decisions about moving an elderly person from the home environment to a residential care setting.

A chronic disease develops slowly, is long lasting and typically worsens over time. Some chronic diseases cannot be prevented, but many are linked to lifestyle choices that are within your ability to change. If you have a chronic disease, it is best to partner with your healthcare provider for ongoing health care maintenance. Examples chronic diseases include, but are not limited to, heart disease, stroke, cancer, type 2 diabetes, COPD, and arthritis.

There are many mental behavioral health conditions that require clinical care by a physician or other healthcare professional including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and stress. It's important for families who suspect a problem in one or more of these areas to seek treatment as soon as possible. Our providers can prescribe some medications, implement acute therapeutic services, coordinate services with more specialized behavioral health providers, and support you in navigating the behavioral health system.

-
A type of lung disease marked by permanent damage to tissues in the lungs, making it hard to breathe. COPD includes chronic bronchitis, in which the bronchi (large air passages) are inflamed and scarred, and emphysema, in which the alveoli (tiny air sacs) are damaged. It develops over many years and is usually caused by cigarette smoking. Also called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Diabetes is a serious disease, which, if not controlled, can be life threatening. It is often associated with long-term complications that can affect every system and part of the body.
Diabetes can, among other things, contribute to eye disorders and blindness, heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, limb amputation, and nerve damage. It can affect pregnancy and cause birth defects, as well.
Although diabetes is a chronic and incurable disease (with the exception of gestational diabetes), with proper medical care, clinical therapies, diet, hygiene, and exercise, symptoms and complications can be successfully treated and managed.

Influenza (or flu) is a highly contagious viral respiratory tract infection. About 5% to 20% of people in the U.S. get the flu each year. Influenza usually comes on abruptly, with fever, muscle aches, sore throat, and a nonproductive cough. The most common form is Influenza A.

Also called sinusitis is an infection of the sinuses near the nose. These infections usually occur after a cold or after an allergic inflammation.
