Our mission is to provide you with personalized, team based, high-quality care. Our goal is to improve and maintain your overall health and to empower you with an understanding of your condition and wellness plan.
NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

If you, your family, or someone in your care needs a primary care provider (family doctor or nurse practitioner), you can register with
the Health Connect Registry.

You will be contacted when a provider becomes available in your community.
HPV SCREENING
Individuals from 25 to 69 years old with a cervix can choose to order a kit to self-screen for the human papillomavirus (HPV), the leading cause of cervical cancer. The new cervical screening test is similar to a Pap smear test.
Self screening removes many barriers such as: cultural barriers, history of trauma, the need for transportation, child care and booking time off work.

TIP OF THE MONTH
PROSTATE CANCER AWARENESS
Men at average risk should consider prostate cancer screening (PSA blood test and potentially a digital rectal exam) starting at age 50. The decision to screen and how often to test should be discussed with your primary care provider, as screening decisions are based on individual risk factors, not just age.
