Comprehensive list of services 2009 - 2010
Primary Care
Primary Care means the regular doctor visits that keep you and your children healthy, help you get better when you are sick, and help you manage chronic diseases like asthma. The best thing that you can do for your health care is to establish yourself as a regular patient in one of our Primary Care clinics, so you can receive continuous quality care. Don't wait until you are sick to think about seeing a doctor. Being an established patient in clinic is the best way to stay out of the Emergency Department.
