PRIMARY MEDICAL CARE

​

Our primary care team is here for all stages of your life, whether you are ill or in good health. We are here to address needs of children, adults, and pregnant women, families, and individuals. Our services include health promotion, disease prevention, health maintenance, counseling, patient education, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses. You can call us your healthcare home.

  • No one is turned away due to inability to pay.
