A visit to the Family Medicine clinic is often a patient’s first contact with the hospital, where they are seen by physicians specializing in Family Medicine and primary care. In addition to diagnosing and treating illness, the physicians at the Family Medicine Clinic also provide preventive care, including routine checkups, health-risk assessments, immunization and screening tests, and personalized counseling on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, irrespective of patient age.
Greater use of primary care is associated with lower healthcare costs, fewer hospitalizations and emergency department visits, and lower mortality.
