Family Medicine Clinic

Family Medicine services are offered at our Price and Huntington locations.

Family medicine clinicians possess unique attitudes, skills and knowledge which qualify them to provide ongoing, comprehensive medical care to each member of the family. Unlike other specialties that are limited to a particular organ or disease, family medicine clinicians are the only specialists qualified to treat most ailments and provide comprehensive health care for people of all ages — from newborns to seniors. This looks like:

• Caring for patients regardless of age or health condition, sustaining an enduring and trusting relationship
• Understanding community-level factors and social determinants of health
• Serving as a patient’s first contact for health concerns
• Navigating the health care system with patients, including specialist and hospital care coordination and follow-up
• Using data and technology to coordinate services and enhance care
• Considering the impact of health on a patient’s family

It is the combination of passion for the patients and a depth of knowledge of the human body that makes family medicine such a unique, effective specialty. Access to a regular family medicine clinician has been linked to:

• Lower infant mortality
• Higher birth weights
• Immunization rates above national standards
• Lower overall health care costs
• Longer, healthier lives
