Their strength is in their constant focus on being a community partner that cares for the whole person. They view patients as individuals who deserve specialized care. Each patient has unique needs, and they strive to develop programs that meet these needs while exceeding the expectations of those receiving care. Programs such as pediatrics, family medicine, internal medicine, dental, optometry, behavioral health, OB/GYN, pharmacy, and laboratory services have been designed to meet a significant need for their patients, as many are managing chronic, life-long conditions such as diabetes. All care is centralized utilizing electronic healthcare records that are accessible to providers and specialists as they connect to provide services necessary for patient care and treatment.
